I think the current designs would all use radiation heat, which means infrared etc light hitting the reactor walls and a coolant (water) running through them to generate steam, and then it’s the good old turbine to electricity process…
Light emitted from a plasma that hot isn’t that hot itself / wouldn’t heat reactor walls to the same temps.
