Summary
| Description |
MODEL OF THE NOVETTE LASER FUSION DEVICE. LLNL'S INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION PROGRAM HAS OUTGROWN THE SMALL ARGUS FACILITY WHILE THE LARGER (BUT OBSOLESCENT) SHIVA FACILITY IS EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE BUT CANNOT BE EASILY CONVERTED TO OPERATE AT MORE EFFECTIVE, SHORTER WAVELENGTHS OF LIGHT. THEREFORE, LLNL IS BUILDING NOVETTE, A NEW LABORATORY, INSIDE THE ARGUS BUILDING. NOVETTE USES SHIVA PARTS FOR THE OSCILLATORS, SMALLER DIAMETER AMPLIFIERS, PULSE POWER SYSTEM, COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM, AND TARGET SYSTEM. A NEW SPACE FRAME WILL HOLD THE LASER, AND TWO SETS OF LARGE DIAMETER AMPLIFIERS AND FOCUSING LENSES HAVE BEEN BORROWED FROM NOVA. WITH THIS SYSTEM, LLNL CAN CONTINUE ITS EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM UNTIL NOVA IS READY. MORE FLEXIBLE THAN SHIVA, NOVETTE WILL ALSO BE LESS EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE AND WILL TEST LARGE APERTURE NOVA HARDWARE.
