Abstract :
Research and development assessments for two inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor design concepts developed in the Prometheus study are presented in this paper. The assessment here focuses on resolving the technical issues identified for the critical components unique to IFE: target, driver, and cavity/first wall. The two designs considered are based on heavy-ion and laser drivers
