    It hit a q value of 1.53 which means they got 50% more energy out. Their goal for commercial realization is a q value of 10, which they say will happen by 2030. This is Chinese for earlier than that because they love to set a far off date and achieve it earlier. They said the facility for that will be finished in 2027 so that’s when I’d expect the real timeline to start.

      No clue why you’re giving the 1.53 Q value the NIF achieved in 2022 to this reactor which is only reporting that it succesfully turned on, with no mention of energy input vs output, but sure ok.
