Wiki says those numbers weren't ever actually achieved, merely extrapolated from other results achieved using pure deuterium plasma. I don't know nuclear physics from a hole in the ground, but I'm with the skeptics. Great if it works eventually, but we have no current reason to pin our hopes on it.

Looks like they still have a lot of work to do before this becomes a reality.
