I`ve been using 1*10E11 Neutrons meaning 1J in lots of other posts. No one has corrected me and even Lerner assumed that as right (he kept discussing with me as there was nothing wrong). Let`s see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power#D-D_fuel_cycle

A neutron from D-D has 3.93*10E-13 J. So, 3.4*10E13 neutrons yields 13.3J. Tripling that gives 40J. So, the total Boron fusion has 6400J.

But, there is a catch here. Nowadays, LPPX goes above 100KJ, probably the mean temperature nowadays is 150KeV. Weirdly, the results from the updated Sing Lee`s model does not follow D-D curve, but of D-T fit. So, maybe at such temperatures the Tritium branch is preferential and most of the tritium generated goes to generate high energy neutrons.

That means 76 x 160J= 12160J. Which is the scientific demonstration of the technology (10KJ) a planned. The 3X of the axial field makes it achieve 36480J per shot , which is the prototype demonstration expected within a few years. (33KJ).
