Engineering breakeven is defined here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_energy_gain_factor#Engineering_breakeven

The fusion reactor must have been built by human civilization or one of its descendants in order to qualify in the context of this question.

it's remotely possible for toy reactor engineering breakeven with D-T, but that fuel won't scale and any other fuel won't breakeven

@JonathanRay doesn't the temperature have to get super high?

@RemNi with other fuels you need a much higher temperature and the radiative losses scale by a power law

@JonathanRay Can you explain this in more detail?
