Abstract

The restrictions on density, dimension and temperature of ignitor are obtained which provide the thermonuclear burn wave generation with high efficiency of energy release. Calculations are carried out by means of TERA code based on Monte-Carlo simulation of kinetics of thermonuclear particles and radiation for different values of temperature inhomogeneity parameter with taking into account the energy transport from relatively cold fuel to the ignitor.
