When a nuclear fusion fuel is used it has to be confined at high temperature and pressure for a certain length of time. Inertial confinement systems achieve this by using high-energy beams to heat a small sample of fuel which then undergoes fusion before it has time to blow apart. 3, record 1, English, - inertial%20containment
