Abstract :
Later this month in California, construction will be completed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory´s National Ignition Facility, or NIF, the world´s most powerful laser system 12 years and roughly US $3.5 billion after it was begun. The plan is for NIF¿s 192 neodymium lasers to create controlled moments of fusion by focusing their energy on 3-millimeter-wide pellets of deuterium and tritium.
