The DSB Task Force was asked to: ̂ Assess the proposed ignition and "non-ignition" high energy density experimental physics programs at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). ̂ Assess the program's executabitity, particularly with respect to the availability of NIF and supporting technologies. ̂ Assess the overall balance and priority of activities within the proposed plan and the degree to which the proposed program of NIF experiments supports the near- and long-term goats of stockpile stewardship. ̂ Assess the extent to which the major stakeholders in NIF are effectively integrated into the plan The National Ignition Facility and planned programs of high energy density work build on a 30-year program expanding understanding of astrophysics, weapons physics, and other scientific areas of interest. The NIF adds new regimes in pressure, temperature, and density that will, given success in achieving ignition, provide visibility into the physical phenomena at the heart of nuclear explosions, astrophysics, and other very high energy density plasmas. Hence the NIF capability to produce thermonuclear burn will provide the much-needed understanding of the most important remaining question in weapons physics.

Report objectives: (1) Assess the proposed ignition & non-ignitionÓ high energy density experimental physics programs at the NIF; Assess the program's executability, particularly with respect to the avail. of NIF & supporting technol.; (2) Assess the overall balance & priority of activities within the proposed plan & the degree to which the proposed program of NIF experiments supports the near- & long-term goals of stockpile stewardship; (3) Assess the extent to which the major stakeholders in NIF are effectively integrated into the plan. The NIF capability to produce thermodynamic burn will provide the understanding of the most important remaining question in weapons physics, & important questions in other sciences.
