 IT'S CONFIRMED! LASER FUSION EXPERIMENT HIT A CRITICAL MILESTONE IN
POWER GENERATION (4 MINUTE READ) [9] 

 A series of papers detailing the US National Ignition Facility's 2022
achievement of a break-even fusion reaction have passed peer review.
In the breakthrough experiment of December 2022, lasers fired 2.05
megajoules of energy into a fuel source, which resulted in 3.15 MJ
being released. Researchers have fired more energetic lasers and
produced even more energy in several experiments since. Links to the
five peer-reviewed papers are available at the end of the article.
