Considerations for the Design, Implementation, and Effective Operation of Sandia's Super-Power Generators
Abstract
After firing its first full power, 36-module shot on June 28, 1980, on schedule and on budget, the PBFA-I Accelerator progressed from an output parameter Characterization phase through a stable operating point optimization phase and into an operational phase for conducting advanced power flow studies and ion beam driven inertial confinement fusion experiments. This paper describes the development of the PBFA Facility from the viewpoints of facility and accelerator design criteria, implementation of these designs, and effective operation.
