Abstract :
The design of a wetted wall reactor cavity was undertaken at UCLA as a part of the Prometheus Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) reactor study. In this paper, we review the final design concept and summarize the results of detailed analysis on several of the key aspects of the cavity design. A more complete description of the design and analysis is contained in the study final report
