Abstract
Summary form only given. At the 1999 Pulse Power Conference, we reported on a preliminary design of a water coupler system combining the current from four individual Decade Modules to drive a Plasma Radiation Source (PRS). That design has been finalized and fielded on the Decade-Quad located at Arnold Engineering Development Center. The final design and issues associated with the actual fabrication are be presented. Results of attempts to demonstrate 10 MA into a short-circuit load and 8 MA into an imploding aluminum wire load are discussed.
