A 1-2 Mj, 500 TW 0.35 micron solid state laser has been proposed to demonstrate the scientific feasibility of ICF at laboratory scale for national security applications and to develop ICF technology and science for long term commercial electric power generation and for basic scientific applications. In this paper, we describe the design of this facility, designated by LLNL as the Nova Upgrade. This facility consists of a frequency converted neodymium-doped glass laser utilizing advanced optical components and a cost effective multipass architecture and a target area capable of safely containing TN fusion yields up to 45 MJ.
