Conceptual design of a 6-10 MJ driver for a high gain Target Development Facility

OSTI ID:6275708
Commercial application of inertial confinement fusion will require low yield (approx.200 to 500 MJ), high gain (greater than or equal to80) fusion targets. It is thought that the development of such targets will require a 5 to 10 year research program utilizing one or more dedicated nuclear facilities with drivers capable of delivering on-target pulses of 6 to 10 MJ at the rate of several shots per day. The ''Target Development Facility '' (TDF) is the light ion driven version of such a facility. A TDF driver concept based upon reasonable extrapolations from present-day technology is described in this paper. 11 refs., 5 figs.
