Simulations of the breakup of the NIF targets have been performed. The x-ray and debris emission are predicted and compared with generic results that were commonly used before the recent declassification. These simulations are one-dimensional, while the target is two-dimensional. The computational models are discussed in some detail, and the problems of one-dimensional simulations are acknowledged.
