TL;DR: In this article, a low-density CH foam that is wicked with solid DT and over-coated with a thin high-Z layer is used to achieve repetitive first light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials modification using intense ion beams
Timothy J. Renk,P. P. Provencio,Somuri V. Prasad,A. S. Shlapakovski,A. V. Petrov,Kiyoshi Yatsui,Weihua Jiang,Hisayuki Suematsu +7 more
TL;DR: The basis for the use of ions in materialsprocessing and the methods of beam formation and impingement on material to be treated are discussed, and examples of recent and ongoing work in materials processing are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the development of the first wall and other principal components of a laser fusion power plant
John D. Sethian,A. René Raffray,Jeffery F. Latkowski,James Blanchard,Lance Lewis Snead,Timothy J. Renk,Shahram Sharafat +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a wall candidate based on tungsten armor bonded to a low activation ferritic steel substrate has been chosen as the initial system to be studied, based on the vast experience with these materials in a nuclear environment and the ability to address most of the key remaining issues with existing facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The long-range goal of the Z-Pinch IFE program is to produce an economically-attractive power plant using high-yield z-pinch-driven targets with low rep-rate per chamber (~0.1 Hz) as discussed by the authors.

Method of modifying a surface
Timothy J. Renk,Neil R. Sorensen,D.C. Senft,Rudolph G. Buchheit,Michael Thompson,Kenneth S. Grabowski +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a surface modification method that provides beneficial changes in surface properties, can modify a surface to a greater depth than previous methods, and that is suitable for industrial application is presented.
