explaining how they measured fusion gain and triple product for their reactor. This confirmed that their reactor was indeed producing fusion energy. They plan to work further on achieving a net energy gain or Q-value.
Dr. Shumlak explained this by stating, "While NIF achieved a Q scientific greater than one, we must also think about how efficiently the whole system works." While Dr. Kingham reminds us that the ultimate goal isn't merely to make fusion more feasible. He said, "Our fusion power plants need Q to be 20 or 30 or more. Our power plant modules will be connected to turbines to produce electricity as well as used to provide heat for multiple industries."
