Assessment of drivers and reactors for inertial confinement fusion
Abstract
An assessment of the prospects of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is given. Special emphasis is placed on the choices of drivers and concomitant reactor designs. Fusion drivers and target requirements are covered and reactor engineering considerations and beam transport are also discussed.
