The promise of magnetized fuel: High gain in inertial confinement fusion

Conference Lindemuth, I R ; Kirkpatrick, R C

At the third International Conference on Emerging Nuclear Energy Systems, we presented computational results which suggested that breakeven'' experiments in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) may be possible with existing driver technology. Our computations used a simple zero-dimensional model to survey the parameter space available for magnetized fuel. The survey predicted the existence of a totally new region in parameter space where significant thermonuclear fuel burn-up can occur. The new region is quite remote from conventional'' parameter space and is characterized by very low fuel densities, very low implosion velocities, and, most importantly, driver requirements reduced by orders of magnitude.

High-gain inertial confinement fusion by volume ignition, avoiding the complexities of fusion detonation fronts of spark ignition

Conference Hora, H ; Eliezer, S ; Honrubia, J J ; ...

The main approach to Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) uses a high-temperature, low-density core and a high-density, low-temperature outer region of the laser- (or ion beam-)compressed deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel, in order to ignite a fusion detonation wave at the interface. This is an extremely delicate, unstable configuration which is very difficult to achieve, even with a carefully programmed time dependence of the deposition of the driver energy. This approach was devised in order to reach the high gains needed for low-efficiency lasers. Since 1978, several teams have developed an alternative scheme using volume ignition, where a natural and simple adiabatic compression,more »« less
High efficiency targets for high gain inertial confinement fusion

Technical Report Gardner, J H ; Bodner, S E

Rocket efficiencies as high as 15% are possible using short wavelength lasers and moderately high aspect ratio pellet designs. These designs are made possible by two recent breakthroughs in physics constraints. First is the development of the Induced Spatial Incoherence (ISI) technique which allows uniform illumination of the pellet and relaxes the constraint of thermal smoothing, permitting the use of short wavelength laser light. Second is the discovery that the Rayleigh-Taylor growth rate is considerably reduced at the short laser wavelengths. By taking advantage of the reduced constraints imposed by nonuniform laser illumination and Rayleigh-Taylor instability, pellets using 1/4 micronmore »« less
