Where does it say they were the first to break-even? According to the Fusion FAQ, the TFTR at Princeton has only made Q=.46 of breakeven, and the next experintal series is expected to render the containment vessel radioactive, and potentially peak at only Q=1.14 (break-even by .14, but still too small for commercial viability).
