Singh, M S

The primary objective the LLNL Laser Fusion Program is to understand and develop the science and technology of inertial confinement fusion. Nova, a 100-TW/100-kJ laser system, has demonstrated efficient compression, ignition, and burn of D-T fusion fuel. The LLNL fusion computer program (LASNEX) and experiments strongly support achieving high gain with the proposed multi-MJ laser system. In this paper, I examine the prompt and residual radiations associated with these laser systems. 3 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.
