Is the Inertial Containment Working?

The National Ignition Facility has been tweaking inertial confinement for years and years and years. And last year they came 70 percent of the way to where they came last week. So what... I have in my notes here. What the hell happened at 103 a.m. December 5th? All right. They've got 192 UV ultraviolet lasers. And they hit a cylinder. And then that creates x-rays from the ultraviolet lasers. That implodes and compresses a little tiny nugget of hydrogen. Or they're actually ... It's isotopes. It's a deuterium and tritium. In 100 trillions of a second, all of this stuff happens.
