The 10,000 J neodymium:glass laser fusion system, Shiva, is described in terms of its design and operating characteristics. The system is intended to produce 30 terawatt optical power bursts in nanosecond pulses as part of a research effort to develop an inertially confined fusion pellet power generator. The principle of laser fusion, i.e., fuel compression to 1000-10,000 times its liquid density, resulting in plasma temperatures of 100 million K, is compared with the more traditional magnetic confinement schemes. A successor to Shiva, Nova, is also discussed. Nova is designed to use the data obtained from Shiva to provide the basis for a program which stresses the practical aspects of laser fusion.
