Mixtures with >100ppm tritium don't count. For ICF, the denominator has to be the total wall-plug power, not just the portion of it delivered to the fuel.

1km just a nice round number to signify that the outer plasma provides negligible shielding to the inner plasma so you just get destroyed by radiative losses at anything close to the required temperatures.
