Development of Imploding Liner Systems for the NRL LINUS Program

Some progress has been made both experimentally and conceptually in regard to plasmas that could be compressed by liner implosion, but no experimental test has yet been accomplished successfully in which the energy and temperature of the magnetically-confined plasma has been increased into a significant regime by liner implosion. Considerable progress has been made, however, in developing liner implosion techniques suitable for both experimental development and eventual imploding liner fusion reactors. The principal development has been the achievement of controlled, reversible liner implosions with excellent symmetry and surface quality. The paper reviews some of the highlights of the development of liner implosion systems at the Naval Research Laboratory and indicates directions of future work.
