Just like with NIF, I don't see a path to an economic fusion reactor for electric power. These targets seem awfully complicated (frozen fuel inside and all that for higher gain).
Interestingly John Slough, David Kirtley and the team at MSNW seem to think that they can do this with a simpler, smaller machine for the fusion driven rocket and despite it being simpler and smaller, they want to use a completely different device for power generation.
