180000 J / 6E21 atoms of D = 187 eV / D atom. This is way beyond ordinary chemistry, but does fall right in the range of Mills energies.
Please note however, that they deliberately quench the reaction after 100 hours. If they did not do that, there is no telling how much longer it would continue. In other words, this is not the upper limit.
Based on other experiments and the assumption that this is fusion (which I think is 99.99% sure) it might go on for years.
