In 1997, the Joint European Torus (JET) at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in the UK achieved a fusion power record, 65% of the way to breakeven. Progress in laser fusion has also advanced, with the National Ignition Facility reporting higher energy yields from recent experiments. In Germany the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, an alternative type of magnetic confinement device, began operation in February 2016 and is exceeding performance expectations. Meanwhile, construction is progressing on the ITER tokamak in Cadarache, France, and first plasma is anticipated for 2025. Fusion is progressing and is on the cusp of a revolution.
