Since the system is currently using deuterium, is it expected that the current path would actually produce theoretical breakeven with that fuel? I know the energy of the D-D reaction can’t actually be captured with a focus fusion device, which isn’t designed to generate usable energy from neutronic reactions, but is the intent to demonstrate that the reaction itself is putting out more energy than input? That in itself would be a huge breakthrough, and should be far easier to achieve with D-D than pB11. Or am I missing something?
