Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets
In the fall of 2010, the Office of the U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE''s) Secretary for Science asked for a National Research Council (NRC) committee to investigate the prospects for generating power using inertial confinement fusion (ICF) concepts, acknowledging that a key test of viability for this concept—ignition —could be demonstrated at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Liv...
