In this paper, the options available for tokamak reactors with normal conducting magnets will be described. The advantages and disadvantages of using normal magnets in fusion tokamak reactors will be described. The impact of the use of resistive magnets on the capital cost, environmental concerns and availability (related to cost of electricity) of a tokamak reactor will be discussed. Special emphasis on electricity producing reactors will be given.
