The Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories was recently refurbished to improve capacity, precision, and capability of nearly all of its pulsed power components in each of its thirty-six modules. The goal of this upgrade was to increase the total machine current by 30%, from ~20 MA to 26 MA in 120 ns into a wire-array z-pinch load. Initial design calculations indicated the operating point for an...
The long-range goal of the Z-pinch IFE program is to produce an economically-attractive power plant using high-yield Z-pinch-driven targets (∼3 GJ) with low rep-rate per chamber (∼0.1 Hz). He present mainline choice for a Z-pinch IFE power plant uses an LTD (Linear Transformer Driver) repetitive pulsed power driver, a Recyclable Transmission Line (RTL), a dynamic hohlraum Z-pinch-driven target, and...
