Yes. But "free" power makes that less of an issue.
For example the steel structure will become embrittled and useless
(hydrogen voids, etc) but it is still essentially nearly all elemental
iron. Just accept that iron that is part of a fusion machine isn't
much good for anything else afterwards, and re-smelt it into
structurally sound material again.
