Well I have not yet read that special edition (i.e. any of the papers) and I am also not a plasma physicist, but the way that blurb text extract is written it sounds more like “Lots of really smart people simulated our fusion reactor and found no weird physics causing it to explode or simply not turn on”. I think this because the talk about checking the “plasma reaction assumptions”! So in theory it can work, but afaik lots of other fusion reactors could in theory work as well. This says nothing about whether their engineering will be able to actually extract that energy… If this is completely missing the mark (and I should have waited until I had some free time to look at the actual calculations) please correct me so I can remove it/replace it with a big “Holy shit this is actually real and we finally are on a stable path to fusion”!
