Abstract
Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) is the primary fusion approach alternative to the Tokamak in the U.S., with a significant IFE driver development program on heavy-ion accelerators supported by DOE Energy Research, and with a large inertial confinement fusion target physics program supported by DOE Defense Programs, aimed at the goal of fusion ignition and energy gain in the laboratory with the National Ignition Facility (NIF) around 2005.
Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract No. W-7405-ENG-48.
