In inertial-confinement fusion, the time involved is a few tenths of a billionth of a second and the density of the plasma has to reach 1031 nuclei per cubic meter—many times more dense than lead.

What's the total energy release in joules?

I'm assuming you meant to type 1031 nuclei per cubic meter.

Also just a little on-line investigation reveals that the maximum densities they get are about 7x1029 nuclei per cubic meter. Still high, but you overstated the situation by an amount in excess of an order of magnitude.
