The release of thermonuclear energy by inertial confinement : ways towards ignition /

This is a comprehensive book which describes the three essential parts of what is known as "Inertial Confinement Fusion" : the way thermonuclear burn takes place in non-magnetized, magnetized and fusion-fission hybrid assemblies; the pulse power ignition technology (nuclear, electrical, op...
