Way cool URL.  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).

Anyway, this belongs on -chat now...
