Comment on Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times
goatsarah@thegoatery.dyndns.org 11 months ago@Funkytom467 no, JET was doing power plant research.
NIF is studying detonation of fusion explosions. The only other way to do this is to set off a thermonuclear bomb, which the US has signed international treaties promising not to do, and which is trivially easily detected from the other side of the world.
