You mean fusion instead of fission. Don't read too much into the recent press release on some progress with fusion. This is still an area of basic research and a Q factor greater than one (for the entire fusion process including electricity generation) is still a long ways off. We are not close to having commercially available fusion power for electricity generation. Perhaps in several decades.
