Abstract

This paper was prepared for the Fusion Power Associates workshop on Cost Effective Steps to Fusion Power, 25–27 January 1999, and summarizes the role of IFE target fabrication, injection and tracking must play in pursuing a cost effective development program for inertial fusion energy that will lead to a cost effective fusion power plant.
