Description/Abstract:
INERTIAL SYSTEM (LASER-PELLET FUSION)...NEW RESEARCH STUDIES ARE UNDER WAY AT THREE AEC LABORATORIES--LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABORATORY, LOS ALAM OS SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY, AND SANDIA LABORATORY (ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXIC O)--TO DEVELOP THE PRODUCTION OF FUSION ENERGY THROUGH LASER IRRADIATI ON OF SOLID PARTICLES OF HEAVY HYDROGEN ISOTOPES. IN THE DRAWING LASE R BEAMS STRIKING A TINY DEUTERIUMTRITIUM PELLET WOULD CAUSE THE OUTER PORTION TO BLOW OFF AND THE CORES ATOM TO FUSE TOGETHER (IMPLODE).
