Download Experimental Development of Nuclear Pumped Laser Candidate for Inertial Confinement Fusion Driver Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
A report is given on progress made during the second year of a three year contract studying the feasibility of nuclear pumping the atomic iodine laser. Experimental results are presented showing efficiencies of 25--38% at converting neutron-induced nuclear reaction energy in the excimer XeBr into UV photons which can be used to pump the laser. Parametric studies were done utilizing the 1°B(n,?)7Li reaction, with three bromine donor chemicals, over a range of pressures and mix ratios, to optimize the fluorescence efficiency.

Download An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The potential for using fusion energy to produce commercial electric power was first explored in the 1950s. Harnessing fusion energy offers the prospect of a nearly carbon-free energy source with a virtually unlimited supply of fuel. Unlike nuclear fission plants, appropriately designed fusion power plants would not produce the large amounts of high-level nuclear waste that requires long-term disposal. Due to these prospects, many nations have initiated research and development (R&D) programs aimed at developing fusion as an energy source. Two R&D approaches are being explored: magnetic fusion energy (MFE) and inertial fusion energy (IFE). An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy describes and assesses the current status of IFE research in the United States; compares the various technical approaches to IFE; and identifies the scientific and engineering challenges associated with developing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) in particular as an energy source. It also provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program focusing on the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant.

Download A Turning Point in the US Inertial Confinement Fusion Program Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The goal of the US ICF Program is to obtain a high-yield (100 to 1000 MJ) and high-gain (about 100) thermonuclear fusion capability in the laboratory. It has long been recognized that before such a laboratory facility is constructed, it must be demonstrated that laboratory conditions can be created that will, with high probability, lead to high gain if a driver of sufficient energy is built and that such a facility can be built at reasonable cost. Thus, the two major aspects of the US program address target physics and driver development. Four main driver candidates are actively being pursued: solid state lasers (principally Nd:glass), KrF gas lasers, light ion beams (Li ions accelerated by ion diodes), and heavy ion beams)A (approximately)200, accelerated by linear induction accelerator). The target physics aspect of the program is further divided into indirect and direct drive targets. In indirect drive targets the driver beams are aimed at a material near the capsule to generate x-rays, which then are absorbed in the fusion capsule ablator to produce the implosion. In direct-drive targets, the driver beams are aimed at the surface of the capsule. However, even in this case it should be recognized that the beam energy is deposited in the plasma surrounding the capsule, then transported to the ablation surface by electrons. Experimental target physics results recently obtained, principally for indirect-drive targets, have led to high confidence that a suitably-shaped 10 MJ pulse is sufficient to achieve high-gain and yields of 100 to 1000 MJ will result. 7 figs.

Download Inertial Confinement Fusion Driven Thermonuclear Energy Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book takes a holistic approach to plasma physics and controlled fusion via Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) techniques, establishing a new standard for clean nuclear power generation. Inertial Confinement Fusion techniques to enable laser-driven fusion have long been confined to the black-box of government classification due to related research on thermonuclear weapons applications. This book is therefore the first of its kind to explain the physics, mathematics and methods behind the implosion of the Nd-Glass tiny balloon (pellet), using reliable and thoroughly referenced data sources. The associated computer code and numerical analysis are included in the book. No prior knowledge of Laser Driven Fusion and no more than basic background in plasma physics is required.

The future utility of inertial confinement fusion requires a new driver. Successful experiments coupling laser energy to targets, and our understanding of fuel capsule behavior strongly suggest that a laboratory thermonuclear source is attainable and power production may be considered if a suitable driver with high efficiency, high repetition rate, and most importantly, low capital cost, can be identified. No adequate driver exists today; however, the krypton fluoride laser holds great promise. By the end of this decade, driver development can be brought to the point that a technically justifiable choice can be made for the future direction of ICF.
