Abstract

The Nova Upgrade Facility is being designed to achieve inertial confinement fusion (ICF) ignition and gain. A baseline design of the laser and experimental facilities has been completed, and a development plan, which includes a fully integrated laser demonstration, has been formulated. With adequate funding, the activities in this plan could be completed by late 1993. Construction of the Nova Upgrade beginning at that time would make possible the achievement of ICF ignition before the end of the decade.
