Scientific paper

NOVA is the latest in a series of powerful laser systems designed to study the feasibility of initiating a controlled fusion reaction by concentrating several laser beams on a small fuel target. The laser components, turning mirrors and target chamber are all mounted on large steel frame structures. These structures were analyzed via finite element models to access their seismic integrity and their overall vibrational stability. When construction was completed, a modal analysis was performed on the structures to verify and improve the finite element models. The linking of the analytical and experimental studies for the NOVA switchyard tower structure is discussed.
