The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off
Yeah, I don’t think inertial confinement is a practical path towards a commercial reactor, but it is interesting from a scientific standpoint.
Commercial reactors will probably stem from magnetic confinement projects like ITER and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, or possibly magneto-inertial confinement like Helion.
