I see. It's just that my knowledge in the field is at Popular Mechanics level )), I haven't seen anything about laser fusion in a while. I get it with the military, they are a dope for technology in general.
It's a lot of lasers.))
ITER is not very promising. Plasma in a torus - heat extraction - subsequent electricity generation...

ITER has plenty of problems - the first wall problem, multiple instabilities, critical magnetic field parameters, technological difficulties, and the need to provide a temperature gradient from tens of millions of degrees of plasma torus to near absolute zero for superconducting magnets, just what I remembered on the fly.
Once again, for all you monkeys out there - ALL thermonuclear reactors use lasers.
ALL FUSION REACTIONS TAKE PLACE AT CERTAIN PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES IN THE REACTOR'S WORKING AREA - ONLY LASERS CREATE THEM.

The point is that it has to be relatively cheap and sulfurous.
Otherwise it will just be an expensive ride...
It's all bullshit. If Russians do it, everything is solved)))

Well, the Russians are only involved in ITER, it is a pan-European project.
And in principle it is - it is just an expensive, no super-expensive ride.
Could you be more specific about this one?
I always thought that all current existing fusion reactions were helium reactions, that fusion reactions of hydrogen isotopes always give a helium plasma as an output.
And that helium fusion without hydrogen isotopes (B, Li) is a distant future, as they give a more powerful flux without induced radioactivity
How much hydrogen and how much helium-3 on earth? And the price of the former and the latter if you compare? Alas, helium is very sad, so enjoy the children helium balloons while you can :)

Plasma, what is it? It's a highly ionized gas, right? I mean, when we heat it up, we get a low-temperature plasma first. And the beauty about this low-temperature plasma is that it gets very nice electrical and magnetic properties, i.e. it's very easy to control with magnetic fields, it's quite stable. But by continuing to heat it, we end up with high-temperature plasma, and so it is already much less stable compared to low-temperature plasma, and it is much more difficult to control the magnetic field, to keep it down, because there are such reactions that particles fly out of this plasma, literally break through the magnetic field, which ultimately destroys the installation and the longer such plasma is kept, the more it destabilizes and the more damage it brings to the chamber.
In general, no matter how you look at it, the energy is spent more than it is received, and continues to be received less than it is spent on the entire process. Perhaps in the future there will be some breakthrough in the containment of high-temperature plasma, but so far the same mistakes have been made. Although some have put forward the idea of multilayer magnetic fields, but I have not heard of it coming to fruition.

Wait. The Wendelstein 7-X uses microwave radiation for heating, or am I confused?
"...Using two megawatts of microwave heating, physicists heated a rarefied cloud of hydrogen to a temperature of 80 million degrees Celsius and kept the resulting plasma in equilibrium..."
It turns out the energy output would have been, if optimistically taken at 2 seconds, somewhere around 1.11 * 10-5 kilowatt*hour. A major breakthrough :)
