Existence and Lifetime of Laser Fusion Pellets Containing Tritium.

摘要

Cryogenic pellets containing significant amounts of solid tritium cannot be maintained in a pure vacuum for longer than (typically) some tens of seconds because radiative cooling at low temperatures is inefficient. The steady state temperatures in typical one-and two-shell pellet designs both in vacuum and with external cooling,as well as the lifetimes of pellets following cooling removal,are calculated.
