    (Generate more power than you consume)

    I read this as being a step in the assembly of a fusion powerplant as such, but I don’t know

    what is so special about it.

    So it doesn’t remain

    Just 5 years away!

      No but seriously there is a joke in the nuclear community that “Fusion is only 15 years away, and it’s been like that for 50 years.” So it’s great to see the curse finally broken.

      What I would give to work at a Chinese fusion power plant… or any fusion power plant for that matter.
