Interesting. Someone thought they had achieved it some years ago, but it seems it wasn't true fusion. I spoke to someone who knew the experimenter and he said, while he didn't know if it had happened, he was a good technician, so may have been on the right lines. If it occurred, and can be repeated, the next thing is to harness that energy into something usable to generate power. That is going to be at least as hard I would think.

the physics seems to work, the ignition seems to work, massive yield that could self sustain

we need to make a fire box and boiler for it, that is the trickier bit
