Description
A system model for scaling the cost and performance of ICF point designs to different operating conditions has been developed. The model allows changes in various figures of merit to be examined as a function of selected operating conditions. As a result, s/kW/sub e/ can be optimized as a function of net electric output. A detailed description of the algorithms/sup 1/ and users guide/sup 2/ can be obtained through LLNL. This report provides an overview of the philosophy that motivated the performance and cost models, and illustrates the model results with an example
