The HYLIFE-II concept for IFE (inertial fusion energy) is based on nonflammable, renewable liquid-wall fusion target chambers formed with Flibe (Li{sub 2}BeF{sub 4}) molten-salt jets, a heavy-ion driver, and single-sided illumination of indirect drive targets. As a direct result of using thick renewable liquid walls, the predicted cost of electricity is reduced about 30% to 4.4{cents}/kWh at 1 GWe (3.2{cents}/kWh at 2 GWe). The development program for HYLIFE-II can be shortened and reduced in cost by not requiring expensive neutron sources to develop first-wall materials.
