“…It is expedient to use DEMGs with flat disc elements [16,17], providing the maximum efficiency of HE energy conversion to the magnetic field energy (20-25%), as the energy source. DEMGs have been developed with the following diameters and HE mass per disc element: ∅250 mm and 0.9 kg/el; ∅400 mm and 3.3 kg/el; ∅1000 mm and 36 kg/el [18]. They generate magnetic field energy per one disc of 1 MJ/el, 4 MJ/el, 40 MJ/el, respectively.…”

It is known that a thermonuclear target can be ignited by an implosion accomplished with X-radiation generated by means of laser radiation conversion or by a Z pinch formed by a high-power current pulse. For these purposes laser facility NIF has been constructed in the USA, ‘Megajoule’ is being constructed in France and there is a project of laser facility UFL in Russia. The project of stationary facility X has been developed in SNL USA to produce a Z pinch capable of generating an x-ray pulse with parameters close to the ignition threshold. There is a great chance, however, that the already tested technologies, including disc explosive magnetic generators (DEMG), systems of current peaking based on electrically exploded foil opening switches and high-voltage switching devices, allow the intriguing problem of the ignition feasibility to be solved and the quickest and cheapest way to accomplish this to be provided. To explore this possibility, the paper will sequentially analyse the ignition conditions. The required parameters of Z pinch X-radiation and the size of the DEMG-based facility to obtain these parameters will be evaluated. Capabilities of the new current sources based on the DEMG and of the devices shaping a current pulse will be presented and compared with those required for the ignition.
