Abstract
In a nuclear fusion device a target of solid deuterium, or solid deuterium-tritium mixture, is subjected to the focused radiation from a spherical charge of TNT, a neutron burst being generated. The radiant energy reaches the target before the impurities formed at the expansion point, thus leaving the plasma generated at the target uncontaminated. The target 20, is located at one focus of the ellipsoidal chamber 10 and the spherical TNT charge 16 at the other focus. Ignition of the charge is effected by the circuit 18 and the radiation energy is reflected by the lining 14 on to the target 20. A wall 21, transparent to radiations may be inserted between 16 and 20, thereby further reducing the contamination of 20 by 16. The explosive may be triggered by a laser beam and a spark gap may be employed to supply the radiation in place of the explosion. The wall 21 may be replaced by a solid ellipsoid which provides screening but does not restrict the pressure distribution.
