February 24, 2009NIF's CrystalsThe technique to grow NIF's high-quality potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP)crystals was a major undertaking, and is perhaps the most highly publicized technological success of the NIF project. Crystals serve two functions: frequency conversion and polarization rotation....more1minPlay
February 24, 2009NIF Optics Assembly BuildingThe building adjoining the National Ignition Facility is a cleanroom for inserting the thousands of optics into special modules known as Line Replaceable Units, that will then be inserted into NIF's 192 beamlines....more1minPlay
February 24, 2009Building the Target ChamberThe ten-meter diameter target chamber was assembled from 18 four-inch-thick aluminum sections and was installed with one of the largest cranes in the world. It was then coated with a special 16-inch-thick neutron-shielding concrete shell. Weighing about one million pounds, the complete target chamber has been precision aligned to better than one-millimeter accuracy. The louvered "first wall" protects the chamber from possible flying debris during shots. Visible are the many portholes where diagnostics will be installed to record and collect data from experiments....more1minPlay

November 19, 2008Schwarzenegger News Conference at LLNLCalifornia governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on Nov. 10, 2008. After touring the National Ignition Facility, he briefed the media about a new advanced concept developed at LLNL for energy production. It's called LIFE (Laser Inertial Fusion-Fission Energy) and could dramatically reduce our nation's dependence on energy that produces carbon dioxide emissions. Also speaking is Lab Director George Miller. [More information at: https://lasers.llnl.gov/missions/energy_for_the_future/life/]...more26minPlay
