Light ion fusion target development facility pre-conceptual design

Conference · · Nucl. Technol./Fusion; (United States)
OSTI ID:6294732
The light ion fusion target development facility will be used to test high yield ICF targets (50200 MJ) at the rate of 10 shots per day. The 6 meter diameter cylindrical target chamber is designed as a first wall supported by a structural frame and is capable of withstanding 15,000 full yield shots over a 5 year lifetime. It is made from Al 6061, thus greatly reducing induced activity. The chamber is shielded by a water pool to allow easy access.
