The A THERMAL code is used to calculate the temperature rise and subsequent evaporation of liquid Pb and Li films bombarded with the debris of ICF targets. Temperature increases resulting from the various species are combined with vapor pressure data to yield evaporation rates and the subsequent total amount of Pb or Li vaporized from a thermonuclear explosion.
