What is the world record for fusion reactions?

How many fusion reactions per second have been achieved, as a world record?
Tip for best answer: M$0.25

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

That was done by the Soviet Russian AN602 Hydrogen bomb, aka the Tzar bomb, originally designed to be 100 megatons of blast, but scaled down to 50 megatons for the test (in order to reduce radioactive fallout).

It produced more hydrogen-fusion reactions per second than any other man-made fusion device before or since.

Your answer did a judo flip on me. Ok, I'm interested in learning more about the history leading up and the results of the experiment.

I don't know what you mean exactly.

Here are some examples.

PLAINSBORO, N.J. Scientists at Princeton University produced the world's most powerful controlled fusion reaction.

Nuclear fusion in five minutes.

JET is the largest fusion experiment to date - holding the world record for released fusion power at 16 MW.

ITER, based in south-east France, will take the technology to a new level and provide an experimental fusion power plant that will produce 500 MW for between five and ten minutes when it becomes operational in about ten years´ time.

Check links for full articles (especially the last one).
