TL;DR: The 1990 National Academy of Science final report of its review of the Inertial Confinement Fusion Program recommended completion of a series of target physics objectives on the 10-beam Nova laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as the highest priority prerequisite for proceeding with construction of an ignition-scale laser facility as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, Marinak et al. used the HYDRA multiphysics radiation hydrodynamics code to simulate a cylindrical NIF hohlraum that includes an imploding capsule.

TL;DR: Miller et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a point design for the initial ignition campaign on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) using D-T fusion fuel in an ablator of either CH with Ge doping, or Be with Cu.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the targets, the modeling that was used to design them, and the modeling done to set specifications for the laser system in the proposed National Ignition Facility.
