[00:12:13] <exec> 08└─From TFA: Despite the fact that the machine successfully controlled helium plasma in December last year, and then the more challenging hydrogen plasma in February, no one had shown that the magnetic field was actually working as it should be.

[00:12:17] <exec> 08└─Sadly, life isn't like sci-fi, and "containment" doesn't mean "preventing a nuclear explosion" but is instead a requisite state for the plasma to be in before fusion is even possible. H-Bombs essentially use a small fission explosion as containment for the tritium-deuterium reaction that fuels the b...

I like calling the fission igniter explosion a "containment". A 100t hydraulic press is also a container, I guess.
