Well, not really. It took many times as much energy into the system as came out (they are comparing the *output* of the lasers to the output of the reaction, the lasers are only a few % efficient), and the reaction lasts for a few ms.

This is a nuclear weapon simulator, not a power reactor, there’s no realistic path from it to one.

Might be time to resume my search for a Delorean.

On a related note, has anyone seen my flux capacitor?
