Contained Fusion Explosion? Or fission?

So abiut a year ago during an energy for the real world class we researched fusion. During one it talked about a facility that contained a massive fission or fusion explosion. (Forgot which) I unfortunately forgot the name of it and can't seem to find any mention of it. Any ideas?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_Pulsed_Power_Facility
>The Z Pulsed Power Facility, informally known as the Z machine, is the largest high frequency electromagnetic wave generator in the world and is designed to test materials in conditions of extreme temperature and pressure. Since its refurbishment in October 1996[1] it has been used primarily as an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research facility. Operated by Sandia National Laboratories, it gathers data to aid in computer modeling of nuclear weapons and eventual nuclear fusion pulsed power plants. The Z machine is located at Sandia's main site in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This is seriously the best description you can come up with?

Hey, it was good enough for me to guess it.

How the fuck did you guess he was talking about the Z Machine?

It was big news about 8ish years ago? and nothing comes close to it in recent times.

"energy" in a red arrow

What exactly IS energy?
is there a field of energy in the universe or what?
>>
>>7947960
As you can see, energy has two directions, a manitude and a color.
This energy here is red, red energy is totally radical.

>>7947960
energy is motion and ability to move masses. It originates form one of the four fundamental forces in the universe, gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces.

not him, but the only fusion research that you could consider an explosion would be at the z machine or maybe NIF
