Two years ago, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) began a study of the viability and relative utility of recirculating induction accelerators as drivers for Heavy Ion Fusion (HIF). The final draft of the report detailing the results in 284 pages was completed in September 1991. As well as broadly involving the collaboration of many researchers from several individuals in the HIF program at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) and from others in the HIF community nationwide. This presentation summarizes the key findings given in that report.
