refinedgeek, 10/8/2013: "However NIF has announced today that, for the first time ever for any fusion experiment, their reaction released more energy than what was pumped into it;" where there's a link to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24429621 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24429621
which says (10/7/2013) "The BBC understands that during an experiment in late September, the amount of energy released through the fusion reaction exceeded the amount of energy being absorbed by the fuel - the first time this had been achieved at any fusion facility in the world."
meanwhile NPR on 2/12/2014 says: "Omar Hurricane, a researcher at, says that for the first time, they've produced significant amounts of fusion by zapping a target with their laser. "We've gotten more energy out of the fusion fuel than we put into the fusion fuel," he says."
