How would you resolve a fusion design based on projectiles like First Light?

They may win the race to a functioning commercial fusion power plant, but I'm uncertain if your resolution criteria of running continuously would resolve YES for their design

@ChrisEdwards I'm happy to have a broad definition of "continous". In their case firing at least one projectile every 10 minutes or something. I'll give it some thought. Thanks for the tip!
