19 years after Hahn and Strassmann split the atom in the lab, we get the first commercial reactor in the US in 1957.

We did a fusion reaction in 1952 via Teller and Ulam. 70 years later we have 5 seconds of a controlled reaction.

I wonder where we will be in another 70. Possibly a little late for the predicted end of the earth by various parties.

Not even close to breakeven. But a major news event, due to ignorant media.

I had a jelly donut this morning. Only a mega-Joule, but the shape does work, just as the news release claims.

Keep in mind that dietary "calories" are actually thermal kilocalories.

Yep! 250 "big calories" in a cheap jelly donut is about a MJ.
