Inertial Fusion Energy program within OFES

Slutz, Stephen A.

Inertial Fusion is being supported by the NNSA for weapon physics and, although net gain has not yet been attained, significant progress has been made. National Ignition Facility (NIF) capsules have attained fusion gain within the fuel. MagLIF, which is presently being studied at the Z facility, has demonstrated the basic principles of Magneto-Inertial Fusion (MIF), which may provide an alternative path to fusion. Despite these successes there is presently no effort to determine if inertial fusion can be used to generate electrical energy. It would be prudent to have a small program directed to the application of inertial fusion for energy (IFE). This program would not have the same goals as the NNSA and should thus be funded by OFES.
