The development of the sausage instability in a z pinch is accompanied by the formulation of a high-temperature plasma. This high-temperature region initiates a wave of thermonuclear burning propagating along the pinch. A numerical solution of the MHD equations has been carried out, taking into account plasma energy losses through radiation and thermonuclear heating. Results of calculations on the growth of the sausage instability are presented for {rho}r = 0.23 g/cm{sup 2}. It is accompanied by the development of a stable wave of thermonuclear burning. 12 refs., 4 figs.
