When the concept was first revealed it garnered a number of negative reviews in the journals.{{sfn|Nevins|Carlson|1998}}{{sfn|Wong}} These issues were explained away and the construction of several small experimental devices followed. {{asof|2018}}, the best-reported performance of the system is approximately 10<sup>−12</sup> away from breakeven. In early 2019 it was announced that the system would instead be developed using conventional D-T fuels and the company changed its name to TAE.{{sfn|McMahon|2019}}
==Progressive thermalization fusion reactor==
A new type of fusion reactor, standing between the CBFR and the Stellarator, has been proposed here: [https://zenodo.org/record/4601513#.YEy3fLiWRHJ Proposal of a progressive thermalization fusion reactor which mechanical gain is ≥18]
In this proposal, the plasma is initially non-thermal but, as expected, rapidly becomes thermal, so all states between non-thermal and thermal exists in this reactor. The main advantage of this reactor is that this plasma after having been brought up near to the optimum conditions for fusion (around 68 keV), is then maintained in this state, thanks to low energy non-thermal ions (≤15 keV). So the energetic cost is low and the mechanical gain (Q) is elevated (≥18).
