Target Area Structural Support systems design to achieve the micron-level stability requirement of the National Ignition Facility (NIF)

摘要

The Target Area Structural Support (TASS) systems are designed to provide an optically stable support for the target area systems and personnel access platforms for the 192 laser beam configuration. The conceptual design of the TASS systems was an optimum configuration selected from three designs on which performance studies were conducted. The supporting bases for the design selection were the analytical results, operation, and cost effective. (ERA citation 19:031903)
