As part of the Laboratory Microfusion Capability (LMC) Phase II Study, Bechtel Corporation carried out an independent cost study for the Department of Energy, comparing the three more detailed proposals for the Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF): the neodymium-glass (Nd:glass) solid state laser; the light-ion accelerator; and the krypton fluoride (KrF) excimer gas laser. The cost study tasks centered on developing the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and the methodology for costing technologies in different stages of development in order to produce, for the three proposals, cost estimates with a common basis. In addition to the equipment and facility costs, the cost estimates include system and design engineering, project management and administration, construction management, and contingency.
