as far as I know, ITER has the goal to crack the next order of Magnitude, a Q>10

First Plasma expected in EO 2025... we'll see.

First plasma at ITER got delayed several years because a big crack developed in something important. After first plasma it'll be a decade before they make their net power attempt with D-T fuel.

Luckily, CFS is building a much smaller reactor that should do the same thing, because they're using modern superconductors that support stronger magnetic fields. They actually should have it up and running in 2025, and don't plan to wait long before attempting net power.

Is CFS one of the venture capital companies? I am very interested what will come out of some of these.
