Nanosecond Pulsed Power provides the unique capability to deliver high energy and high power at low cost and high efficiency. One important application of this technology is to the generation of intense, high-energy laboratory x-ray sources using magnetically driven implosions. Saturn generates {approximately}500 kilojoules of x-rays using this process. This paper presents a detailed design concept for a {approximately}15 MJ laboratory x-ray source and discusses the resultant capabilities for high energy density physics studies.
