3. From FPA "Fusion Program Notes"- - FESAC Panel Urges Balanced Inertial Fusion Energy Effort A panel of the Department of Energy's Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC), charged with reviewing its Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE)program, has urged the Department to carry out "a coordinated program with some level of research on all the key components (targets, drivers and chambers), always keeping the end product and its explicit requirements in mind." "In sum the IFE Panel is of the unanimous opinion that the IFE program is technically excellent and that it contributes in ways that are noteworthy to the ongoing missions of the DOE." The full FESAC endorsed the Panel report at it meeting March 29, 2004 and transmitted it to DOE Office of Science Director Ray Orbach.

10. Thanks, Steve!!

11. Why we are doing what we are doing...

12. Develop technologies that can simultaneously meet fusion energy requirements for efficiency (> 6%), wavelength (351 or 248 nm) repetition rate (5-10 Hz), and durability (>100,000,000 shots continuous). Demonstrate required laser beam quality and pulse shaping Laser technologies employed must scale to reactor size laser modules and project to have attractive costs for commercial fusion energy.
