Mechanical Engineering Safety Note 1012910313-AA: CEA LTIC Structural Integrity
Abstract
The LRU Target Insert Cryostat (LTIC) is the end effector of the NIF Cryogenic Target Positioner (CryoTarpos), which houses a cooling system to support cryogenic target experiments at NIF. The LTIC maintains a target at micron level positional stability and millikelvin level temperature stability during a NIF shot and is also subject to a portion of the blast load governed by the solid angle subtended by the blast shield at the front of the system. This MESN evaluates loading of the CEA LTIC, a redesigned LTIC to be fielded at Laser Megajoule (LMJ) in France, which has been designed to lay out requirements agreed upon between LLNL and CEA personnel. The LMJ version of CryoTarpos is referred to as the PCC. A high-level system overview of the LTIC on the PCC is shown.
