I'm sure I remember reading as far back as I first heard of ITER, literally about 15 years ago (I'm currently 30), that the power was only ever expected to net to zero and they planned a demonstration plant to be built subsequently called DEMO [1] which would generate net power and operate continuously. So I'm surprised to see these claims of net power production from ITER itself... 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEMOnstration_Power_Plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEMOnstration_Power_Plant
