ICF implosions at the NIF will produce core plasma temperatures in excess of 10-keV and densities of order 100 g/cm{sup 3}. Properties of these plasmas can be measured using a variety of optical, x-ray and nuclear techniques similar to those now in use at facilities such as Nova and Omega. Some of these techniques will be directly applicable on NIF while others, particularly the nuclear-based techniques, will change significantly.
