In any future fusion power plant, a plasma with a high triple product must be maintained for long periods.

I love vague terms like "long periods". Long compared to the Planck length? Geological time? Is the advertised 43 seconds almost there or "off by 17 orders of magnitude?"

Its implict by the context. The co text is SOTA fusion research. One can never fully define everything.
