Talk:Heavy ion fusion

Failed to obtain cited data from reference
''In order for the fusion reactions to produce enough energy to match the original energy of the laser, it will have to produce at least 4 MJ, and for practical reasons, at least three times that, implying the ratio of input laser energy to output fusion energy,[c] or gain, has to be on the order of hundreds or thousands. To date, the record on NIF is 1.3 MJ of fusion from 2 MJ of laser output,[5] from 422 MJ of electricity, so it is extremely unlikely the current approach could ever be used for power production.[6]''

The values 4 MJ, 2 MJ and 422 MJ is not obtainable from the cited references. The sandias web page does not give these numbers and the paper linked from the sandias web page 404's.
