More than 50% more energy was generated than was used for the reaction. 2.05 Megajoules in, 3.15 Megajoules out. Let's see how fast the US fossil fuel oligarchs start creating anti-fusion propaganda like they did with fission.

I noticed China have a custom of reveal their scientific achievements only when completely waterpoof, so not impossible.
