Break even?? edit

"it was hoped that TFTR would finally achieve fusion energy break-even" - any data on the efficiency that was eventually achieved? Thanks, --Jpkoester1 June 28, 2005 16:57 (UTC)

Same question: the "Later Experiments" section gives the power produced as 10.7 MW. But, what was the power input to the plasma? Wcmead3 (talk) 20:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why didnt they reach break-even edit

Says "They hoped to achieve deuterium-tritium break-even in 1989" - what went wrong ? What happened between 1987 and 1993 ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:43, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Decommissioning edit

It shut down in 1997 but what has happened since? Since this was the first fusion device to reach 10MW (thermal) in power output, and used D+T to do it, it would be very interesting to know how much nuclear waste this produced, and what was done with it.
