"Breakthrough: Nuclear Fusion Lab Achieves Unprecedented Energy Output"

The Joint European Torus (JET) in England has set a new record for the most energy created in a single fusion reaction, marking a significant milestone in nuclear fusion research. Despite nearing the end of its four-decade-long life, JET sustained high fusion power for 5 seconds and produced 69 megajoules of energy using a minuscule amount of fuel. While JET's achievement is noteworthy, it did not surpass the record for energy yield, which was achieved by the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in 2022. Nonetheless, JET's success underscores the progress in fusion energy research and its potential for future commercial applications.
