    Hmm, I thought they were running fast ignition since like 2005?

      They’ve been doing studies of what would be required for ignition for a while, but have never demonstrated ignition using the Z machine.

      If they did have ignition, there’s no way they would’ve let LLNL claim to be first and enjoy all the media attention.
