Huh

This would make more sense to me if I still read Analog:


Title: The World's Simplest Fusion Reactor Revisted
Author: Tom Ligon
Year: 2008
Type: ESSAY
Series: Science Fact (Analog)
ISFDB Record Number: 854370

Title: The World's Simplest Fusion Reactor
Author: Tom Ligon
Year: 1998
Type: ESSAY
Series: Science Fact (Analog)
ISFDB Record Number: 126238

Reprint? Reexamination of the first essay?

Full title of the second article:

The World’s Simplest Fusion Reactor Revisited
Or
The Not-Quite-So-Simple Fusion Reactor, and How They Made It Work

First paragraph:

Analog published my fact article “The World’s Simplest Fusion Reactor, and How to Make It Work” in the December 1998 issue. Those of you who read it probably wonder if anything became of the technology and project I described. Alas, for many years, requirements for confidentiality prevented me from saying any more about it. But things have changed, and I can now tell you the good news.
