The light ion fusion target development facility will be used to test high yield ICF targets (50–200 MJ) at the rate of 10 shots per day. The 6 meter diameter cylindrical target chamber is designed as a first wall supported by a structural frame and is capable of withstanding 15,000 full yield shots over a 5 year lifetime. It is made from Al 6061, thus greatly reducing induced activity. The chamber is shielded by a water pool to allow easy access.
