Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-27

Track; not yet

Why
A government-lab confinement-physics milestone with no commercial product and no net energy gain, whose specific number was superseded within ~3 weeks by WEST — valuable as a fusion-timeline anchor point but not an adoptable technology for Pragma.Vision or its clients today.
Next
Monitor EAST's and CFETR's next long-pulse campaigns and any ITER test citing this benchmark; re-score only if a lab pairs comparable duration with a reported net energy gain (Q>1).
