Title: Development of a Multi-Press Assembly Device for Planar Dynamic Material Property Targets

Abstract

A class of dynamic material property (DMP) experiments on the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) pulse power Z-Machine requires planar samples to be held in a panel assembly. A custom press device to fabricate the assemblies has the ability to assemble one sample, window, or stack at a time, resulting in a one week lead time for a typical three-pocket panel assembly. Fabrication of targets with more than three pockets can take longer. In late 2015, General Atomics (GA) conceptualized a new multi-press device to enable several samples, windows, or stacks to be assembled simultaneously, and a prototype was designed, procured, and outfitted in six months. Since June 2016, this multi-press design has successfully assembled 60 planar DMP targets. Furthermore, the development considerations for this new device and the resulting benefits for the fabrication of targets are discussed.

Evolution of Gas Cell Targets for Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion Experiments at the Sandia National Laboratories PECOS Test Facility

Journal Article Paguio, R. R. ; Smith, G. E. ; Taylor, J. L. ; ... - Fusion Science and Technology

Z-Beamlet (ZBL) experiments conducted at the PECOS test facility at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) investigated the nonlinear processes in laser plasma interaction (or laserplasma instabilities LPI) that complicate the deposition of laser energy by enhanced absorption, backscatter, filamentation and beam-spray that can occur in large-scale laser-heated gas cell targets. These targets and experiments were designed to provide better insight into the physics of the laser preheat stage of the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) scheme being tested on the SNL Z-machine. The experiments aim to understand the tradeoffs between laser spot size, laser pulse shape, laser entrance hole (LEH) windowmore »« less

Inertial Confinement Fusion. Annual report 10/1/98 through 9/30/99

Technical Report Gibson, Jane

General Atomics (GA) has served as the Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Target Component Fabrication and Technology Development Support contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy since December 30, 1990. This report documents the technical activities of the period October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999. During this period, GA and our partner Schafer Corporation were assigned 17 formal tasks in support of the ICF program and its five laboratories. A portion of the effort on these tasks included providing direct ''Onsite Support'' at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Sandia National Laboratory (SNL).

Design and Fabrication of Opacity Targets for the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Cardenas, Tana ; Schmidt, Derek William ; Dodd, Evan S. ; ... - Fusion Science and Technology

Accurate models for opacity of partially ionized atoms are important for modeling and understanding stellar interiors and other high-energy-density phenomena such as inertial confinement fusion. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is leading a multilaboratory effort to conduct experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to try to reproduce recent opacity tests at the Sandia National Laboratory Z-facility. Since 2015, the NIF effort has evolved several hohlraum designs that consist of multiple pieces joined together. The target also has three components attached to the main stalk over a long distance with high tolerances that have resulted in several design iterations. The targetmore »« less

Enhanced Dual Confocal Measurement System

Journal Article Tomlinson, K. ; Seagle, C. T. ; Huang, H. ; ... - Fusion Science and Technology

A measurement instrument utilizing dual, chromatic, confocal, distance sensors has been jointly developed by General Atomics (GA) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) for thickness and flatness measurement of target components used in dynamic materials properties (DMP) experiments on the SNL Z-Machine (Z). Compared to previous methods used in production of these types of targets, the tool saves time and yields a 4x reduction in thickness uncertainty which is one of the largest sources of error in equation of state (EOS) measurements critical to supporting the NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship program and computer modeling of high energy density experiments. It has numerousmore »« less

Advanced alternate planar geometry solid oxide fuel cells

Technical Report Elangovan, S ; Prouse, D ; Khandkar, A ; ...

The potential of high temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells as high performance, high efficiency energy conversion device is well known. Investigation of several cell designs have been undertaken by various researchers to derive the maximum performance benefit from the device while maintaining a lower cost of production to meet the commercialization cost target. The present investigation focused on the planar SOFC design which allows for the use of mature low cost production processes to be employed. A novel design concept was investigated which allows for improvements in performance through increased interface stability, and lowering of cost through enhanced structural integritymore »« less
