National complex laser fusion reactions (18 photos)
This research complex, working on the problem of inertial confinement fusion, which is located in Livermore, California. The complex was built for 12 years, and its construction was spent almost $ 4 billion. NIF uses 192 powerful lasers to heat and compress a small target, consisting of a mixture of deuterium and tritium, to the point where self begins thermonuclear reaction.
