1 Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Program Update Presented to: NAS Meeting of the Board on Physics and Astronomy By: Michael E. Donovan, Ph.D. Acting Assistant Deputy Administrator for Inertial Confinement Fusion and the NIF Project National Nuclear Security Administration April 25, 2008
2 Mission and Strategic Objectives of the ICF Program Mission: Provide the experimental capabilities and scientific understanding in high energy density physics to maintain a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile without underground testing. Strategic Objectives: Achieve thermonuclear ignition in the laboratory and develop it as a scientific tool for stockpile stewardship. Support execution of high energy density physics experiments necessary to provide advanced assessment capabilities for stockpile stewardship. Develop advanced science and technology capabilities that support the long-term needs of stockpile stewardship. Maintain a robust national program infrastructure and attract scientific talent to stockpile stewardship. 2
3 Key Points The nuclear weapon complex is undergoing major changes (Complex Transformation Office created within NNSA) that result in budgetary pressures within the program Inertial fusion and high energy density physics are key elements of stockpile stewardship High Energy Density Laboratory Plasma experiments (HEDLP) provide integrated test of advanced simulation codes Highest priority for ICF Program is NIF completion and execution of ignition experiments (National Ignition Campaign) starting in FY2010 ICF Program is entering a scientific golden age with completion of the refurbished Z (2008), OMEGA EP (2008), and NIF (2009) NNSA/SC Joint Program in Laboratory High Energy Density Plasmas created in FY 2008 to steward HEDLP within DOE NNSA is in process of implementing a policy to operate its major facilities as Shared National Resources 3
4 NNSA s Premier High Energy Density (HED) Facilities NNSA owns unquestionably the world s preeminent HED capabilities that can achieve unprecedented progress in a broad range of science and technology in support of NNSA s Stockpile Stewardship Program and broader national missions Refurbished Z (2008), Omega with EP (2008), and NIF (2009) Access to these facilities is needed for the advancement of basic science and for training the next generation of stockpile stewards NIF Omega Z 4
5 The National Ignition Facility concentrates the energy in a football stadium-sized facility into a cubic millimeter 5
6 NIF Project Status Report
7 NIF performance from single beam experiments Achieved the pulse shape, beam uniformity, focal spot and SSD bandwidth required for ignition experiments up to 1.8 MJ 7
8 OMEGA EP integration is nearly complete and commissioning is scheduled for Q3 FY 2008 First joint shot in the OMEGA target chamber on 3/31/08, ~1 kj with short pulse energy to OMEGA on 4/3/08 8
9 OMEGA EP will be a flexible HED research platform with short- and long-pulse capabilities G6957p 9
10 The Extended Performance (EP) addition will greatly enhance the capability of the OMEGA laser at LLE 10
11 Refurbishment of the Z Pulsed Power Generator at Sandia National Laboratories New Laser Triggering System Maximize Utility of Diagnostics Infrastructure Update Charging & Triggering Systems New Capacitors Double Energy Storage Incorporate Energy Diverter Systems Incorporate Modern Gas Switch Technology Modify Vacuum Stack for Higher Electrical Stress Electrically Optimize Pulse Forming Systems 11
12 The refurbished Z will provide increased capability Refurbishment of existing Z facility more shot capacity improved precision and pulse shape flexibility higher current capability minimum interruption to ongoing programs exercise SNL s pulsed power research & engineering capabilities Improved Precision, Flexibility More Capacity -- Shots Higher Capability -- Current Capability Z today After Refurbishment Peak load current reproducibility ± 5 % ± 2 % Pulse shaping flexibility Minimal Significant Variability Peak Current 18 MA 26 MA Power Radiated (Nested Arrays) 230 TW 350 TW Energy Radiated (Single Array) 1.6 MJ 2.7 MJ 12
13 The Z-Petawatt Laser System will provide new capability for diagnosing Z experiments Currently, the terawattclass Z-Beamlet Laser (ZBL) creates a backlighting x-ray source in the 1-10 kev range on Z A petawatt-class enhancement, referred to as the Z-Petawatt (ZPW), is being constructed for: New radiography options (X-ray radiography in the kev range; Proton radiography) Fast Ignitor fusion research on Z System operational in 2007 at 500 J/500 fs with Au gratings, ramping up to 2 kj/500 fs with MLD gratings in
14 Ignition is the Highest Priority of the ICF Program In 2005 the ICF Campaign established an integrated, multi-site effort called the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) to focus programmatic activities on achieving ignition NIC has two objectives: 1. Perform credible ignition experimental campaigns on the NIF beginning in FY 2010, and; 2. Transition NIF from project completion to routine operations supporting NNSA missions by FY
15
16 NIC is formally managed by NNSA NIC is managed as an Enhanced Management Activity and includes a formal execution plan approved by NNSA The execution plan describes the multi-year (beginning-toend) scope, schedule, and budget baseline NIC baseline is under formal change control and progress is monitored using an earned value management reporting process. ~85% of the ICF Budget is planned in the NIC Prototype ignition target 3
17 Major elements of the National Ignition Campaign (FY06 FY12 Q1) All must be in place for a credible ignition campaign 4
18 Major elements of the National Ignition Campaign (FY06 FY12 Q1) All must be in place for a credible ignition campaign 5
19 Highest fuel areal densities achieved with cryogenic deuterium implosions on OMEGA To achieve high density, the inner ice surface must be smooth: ~2 µm rms or better Fuel density reaches ~ 100 g/cc (500x liquid density) Cryogenic deuterium implosion using a complex pulse shape By far, the highest areal densities measured in ignition-relevant laboratory implosions - very important for ICF ignition Fuel density achieved is more than adequate for ignition on the NIF Achievement is a key precursor for Ignition 2010 on NIF 6
20 Z experiments measured the effects of fill tubes on ignition capsule implosions Photo of CH capsule used in Z experiments showing 4 fill tubes (12-45 micron OD) Radiograph at kev at convergence ratio 1.5 Comparison of experimental radiograph with simulations HYDRA simulation Agreement between data and simulations increases our confidence that perturbations from fill tubes will not be a problem for first ignition experiments 7
21 The NIC is focused on preparing for the first ignition experiments in FY
22 The integrated NIF/NIC schedule is complex and aggressive 9
23 The ICF Program is the engine for high energy density science Fusion Burn for Stockpile Stewardship HED Experiments (Materials, Hydrodynamics) Energy and Fundamental Science 1
24 Broadening access: the science community is critical to NIF s success and its role in national security 2
25 NIF will support three national research agendas 3
26 NIF s Unprecedented Scientific Environments 4
27 An Academic Use of NIF Program has begun with 3 Participating Research Teams Each team is being provided seed funding Close collaboration with LLNL scientists established Experiments expected to begin in FY
28 Importance of fundamental HED Physics has been recognized National Academy/workshop reports Plasma Science: Advancing Knowledge in the National Interest May 2007 Office of Science/NNSA Joint Program in HEDLP Federal response 6
29 LLE s National Lasers Users Facility (NLUF) has been in operation since
30 Joint Program in High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas (HEDLP) NNSA and Office of Science (OFES) have established a joint program in high energy density laboratory plasmas Purpose is to steward effectively this emerging field within DOE while maintaining the interdisciplinary nature of this area of science Program includes individual investigators, research centers activities, and user programs (NLUF) Other agencies may join in the future (NSF, NASA) FY08 Funding in Dollars Thousand NNSA 19,794 OFFICE of SCIENCE 18,242 TOTAL 38,036 The Joint Program funds user facility programs, individual investigators, center research, grant and fellowships and sponsors research in areas such as fast ignition, laser plasma instabilities, magneto-inertial and heavy ion fusion, plasma jets, and warm dense matter 8
31 HED Facilities ICF Program is a multidimensional program with far reaching impacts and a promising future
32 Summary points The nuclear weapon complex is undergoing major changes (Complex Transformation Office created within NNSA) that result in budgetary pressures within the program Inertial fusion and high energy density physics are key elements of stockpile stewardship High Energy Density Laboratory Plasma experiments (HEDLP) provide integrated test of advanced simulation codes Highest priority for ICF Program is NIF completion and execution of ignition experiments (National Ignition Campaign) starting in FY2010 ICF Program is entering a scientific golden age with completion of the refurbished Z (2008), OMEGA EP (2008), and NIF (2009) NNSA/SC Joint Program in Laboratory High Energy Density Plasmas created in FY 2008 to steward HEDLP within DOE NNSA is in process of implementing a policy to operate its major facilities as Shared National Resources 10
