Description
The Laser Fusion Program System Studies Group at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory has been engaged in scoping studies to identify attractive reactor concepts for producing power with inertial confinement fusion. The scoping studies were carried out by developing several reactor concepts and then comparing them on the basis of their ability to cope with the major problems affecting the technical feasibility of an inertial confinement fusion power plant. These include: (1) the effects of the fusion microexplosion on the first wall, (2) the effects of high energy neutrons and cyclical stresses on the blanket structure, and (3) the effects of the fusion microexplosion on the final focussing elements
