Description

The primary objective of the LLNL Laser Fusion Program is to understand and develop the science and technology of inertial confinement fusion. Nova, a 100-TW/100-kJ laser system, has demonstrated efficient compression, ignition, and burn of D-T fusion fuel. The LLNL fusion computer program (LASNEX) and experiments strongly support achieving high gain with the proposed multi-MJ laser system. In this paper, the author examines the prompt and residual radiations associated with these laser systems
