Nukes release gamma rays which degrade into lower frequencies. This experiment seems to be duplicating what happens in the polar beams of stellar core events such as black hole and neutron star formation.

would they be able to do fusion reactions with gamma rays as they do with lasers in one of california’s energy labs? if so would gamma rays require more or less electricity/energy than lasers? put differently would would it cost more electricity to create gama rays or lasers? That is would electricity more efficiently convert to the power to make gama rays power a fusion reaction than would electricity convert to the power to make lasers power a fusion reaction.
What you're referring to is called inertial confinement fusion. It uses high energy lasers to compress a pellet of hydrogen (technically deuterium and tritium) to the point where fusion occurs. The higher energy laser the better, but also the more difficult to achieve. I don't think we even have gamma ray lasers yet. Remember the higher the frequency of light, the higher the energy, and gamma rays are at the extreme upper end of the EM spectrum. Fusion produces gamma rays because it's a very high energy reaction. Things like ordinary fire produce visible light as the highest frequency. Typically wavelength is determined by temperature, following the blackbody curve given by Wien's law. What temperature does fusion produce? Millions of degrees?
