We present on the first inertial-confinement-fusion ignition facility, the target capsule will be DT filled through a long, narrow tube inserted into the shell. μg-scale shell perturbations Δm' arising from multiple, 10–50 μm-diameter, hollow SiO₂ tubes on x-ray-driven, ignition-scale, 1-mg capsules have been measured on a subignition device. Finally, simulations compare well with observation, whence it is corroborated that Δm' arises from early x-ray shadowing by the tube rather than tube mass coupling to the shell, and inferred that 10–20 μm tubes will negligibly affect fusion yield on a full-ignition facility.
