Inertial Confinement Fusion

1988
Edward Teller has been a strong proponent of harnessing nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes. There are two approaches: Plowshare, which utilizes macro-explosions, and inertial confinement fusion, which utilizes micro-explosions. The development of practical fusion power plants is a principal goal of the inertial program.

Magnetic Inertial Confinement Fusion (MICF)

Plasma Science and Technology, 2016
Based on the similarity in models of the early Sun and the 3-D common focal region of the micro-pinch in X-pinch experiments, a novel hybrid fusion configuration by continuous focusing of multiple Z-pinched plasma beams on spatially symmetric plasma is proposed.

Inertial Confinement Fusion – Physics Principles

2021
In inertial confinement fusion (ICF) energy is released in impulsive form from a small amount (a few milligrams, at most) of strongly compressed and hot fuel. Inertial fusion energy (IFE) production will be obtained from the sequential burn of targets, at a rate of the order of a few Hz.

Progress in inertial confinement fusion

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1988
Reviews the current status of inertial confinement fusion. The recent results of high compression (100*liquid density) and high neutron yields (1012, 1013 per shot) obtained in separate laser experiments are discussed. The joint attainment of high densities and high temperature will require larger drivers (laser or ion beam).

Alternate fusion: continuous inertial confinement

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1993
The authors argue that alternate fusion approaches should be pursued if: (1) They do not require magnetic confinement superior to tokamaks; (2) Their physics basis may be succinctly stated and experimentally tested; (3) They offer near-term applications to important technical problems; and (4) Their cost to proof-of-principle is low enough to be ...

Inertial Confinement Fusion: Computer Simulation

1991
The complex hydrodynamic and transport processes associated with the implosion of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) pellet place considerable demands on numerical simulation programs. Processes associated with implosion can usually be described using relatively simple models, but their complex interplay requires that programs model most of the ...

Magnetized fuel inertial confinement fusion

Nuclear Fusion, 1988
A more complete radiation treatment is introduced into the zero-dimensional magnetized fuel inertial confinement fusion (ICF) model of Lindemuth and Kirkpatrick. In particular, the effects of synchrotron radiation and the inverse Compton effect are considered.

Outlook for inertial confinement fusion

Journal of Fusion Energy, 1996
During the next ten years the National Ignition Facility (NIF) will be completed and substantial fusion gains are likely to be achieved with the NIF megajoule class solid state laser. A facility very similar to NIF is being constructed by the French nuclear weapons program.

Inertial Confinement Fusion

2006
This chapter begins by discussing the nuclear physics that makes possible laboratory fusion, and considering on basic grounds the energy gain that might be possible and what is required for a power plant. Some exploration of the properties of DT fuel follows, enabling one to identify its behavior under compression and its response to entropy deposition.
