ABSTRACT:
In connection with a fusion process which can be initiated by a high energy input such as a laser beam, the use of a layer of uranium surrounding the fusion fuel such as deuterium-tritium or a non-cryogenic fuel such as lithium deuterium-lithium tritium. The uranium serves as a tamper layer to contain the fusion fuel and supplement the heating by a fission reaction which not only increases the fusion yield but increases the time of disassembly, thus materially increasing the efficiency of the fusion system.
