Abstract :
The design status of the vacuum vessel for the Fusion Ignition Research Experiment (FIRE) is presented. The purpose and configuration of the various components of the vessel are described, along with the results of preliminary structural analysis. It appears that a vessel can be designed to meet the requirements within the rather restricted space constraints
