Abstract
A conceptual design for an alternative laser driver for the Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF) is presented. A pulsed fission reactor is used to excite an oxygen-iodine laser in this study based on preliminary data on nuclear pumping of O/sub 2/(/sup 1/..delta..). Although a working NPL of this specific type has not yet been assembled, the authors believe this concept holds great potential both as a test facility driver and as a future power reactor.
