The Staged Z-Pinch couples energy to a target, plasma-dynamically in stages. Our analysis considers this multi-shell z-pinch configuration driven by the ZOT Facility at the University of California, Irvine with predictions for a 2 MA, 1.8 {mu}s krypton-liner shell and DT target of: Y{approx}4{times}10{sup 15}neutrons/pulse, G{approximately}1 gain, n{tau}{approx}10{sup 15}cm{sup {minus}3}-s, {tau}=2ns, n=7{times}10{sup 23}cm{sup {minus}3}, and T{sub ion}=10keV. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
