A Sustainable Nuclear Fuel Cycle Based on Laser Inertial Fusion Energy
Edward I. Moses,Tomas Diaz de la Rubia,Erik Storm,Jeffery F. Latkowski,Joseph C. Farmer,Ryan P. Abbott,Kevin J. Kramer,Per F. Peterson,H. F. Shaw,Ronald F. Lehman +9 more
TL;DR: The National Ignition Facility (NIF), a laser-based Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiment designed to achieve thermonuclear fusion ignition and burn in the laboratory, will soon be completed as mentioned in this paper.
Selective laser sintering of MA956 oxide dispersion strengthened steel
TL;DR: In this paper, a selective laser sintering process was used to construct parts with varying build conditions for additive manufacturing of ODS steel powder bed, and the results showed that although density was achieved to within 97% of the wrought MA956, ultimate tensile strength achieved only 65% of wrought strength.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated design that meets all of these requirements is described, together with an integrated fusion chamber subsystem, which can absorb the fusion energy, produce fusion fuel to replace that burned in previous targets, and enable both target and laser beam transport to the ignition point.

TL;DR: In this article, an additive manufacturing system having a heat source for melting powder particles in a desired shape and pattern to produce a product is described. And the secondary heat source is used to peen or anneal residual stresses caused by the additive manufacturing process.
