Hubbard) Organization: Genstar Rental Electronics, Palo Alto, Ca. Lines: 19 In my previous article on fusion, I state that fusion had been achieved at AMES with the shiva laser. Sorry LLL, I meant you. My apologies to the people at Livermore.. BTW, isn't the new NOVA laser supposed to 'break even' in energy input/output? Does anyone know anything about this? I know the original shiva used a lithium 'waterfall' to capture some of the energy (presumably to be thrown away), what scheme have they devised this time? -- Jordan K.
