Deuterated polymer microspheres can be used as a neutron source in conjunction with
lasers because thermonuclear fusion neutrons can be produced efficiently by collisions of …

For a commercial laser inertial fusion energy reactor, a highly repetitive operation in which
many fuel pellets must be illuminated by laser spots. One of the most efficient ways to …

Featured Application Fuel target supply to high repetition rate laser facilities including
inertial confinement fusion power plant. Abstract The paper presents the results of …

In direct-drive laser fusion, a spherical fuel target is injected into the reactor chamber, where
laser fusion occurs. The position and time of the injected target in flight are measured …

This chapter provides a review of the technological approaches to fusion energy to provide a
foundation level understanding to allow the readers to better traverse the later chapters of …

Deuterated polymer beads with specifications on their size and structure are needed for
preparing the targets in the inertial confined fusion experiments. Driven by the need to …

In laser-driven inertial fusion energy reactors, injected fuel pellets are continuously delivered
into the reaction chamber and irradiated by laser beams injected at a frequency of tens of …

The problems of acceleration of fast ignition thermonuclear targets with two cones for their
high-precision injection into region near the center of the reactor chamber are considered …

A laser inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor requires repetitive injection of fuel pellets and
laser engagement to fuse fusion fuel beyond a few Hz. We demonstrate 10 Hz free-fall bead …

The applicability of tokamak, helical and laser fusion reactors as a volumetric fusion neutron
source has been examined using the systems codes that have been utilised for the …
