The ICF uses a positive, holistic language emphasizing skills, capacities, and strengths of an individual rather than focusing on one ’ s deficits and disabilities.

The ICF ( International Canoe Federation ) has had a limited interest in Dragon Boat Sport since 2005 ( some 3 decades following the start of the modern era of the international sport in Hong Kong ), organising an annual Dragon Boat Championship only for the small number of its Member Canoe Federations, approx 10, with an interest in Dragon Boating.

The Department of Energy ( DOE ) decided that direct experimentation was the best way to settle the issue, and between 1978 and 1988 ran a series of underground experiments at the Nevada Test Site ( now known as Nevada National Security Site ), that used small nuclear bombs to directly illuminate ICF fuel components with high-energy X-rays ; LLNL ran its program under the name " Halite ", while LANL ran its as " Centurion ".

The basic idea of any ICF device is to rapidly heat the outer layers of a " target ", normally a small plastic sphere containing a few milligrams of fusion fuel, typically a mix of deuterium and tritium.

This has advantages relative to the more conventional deuterium-tritium ( D-T ) reaction of other confinement and compression devices such as the tokamak or inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) devices that amplify and focus multiple high-energy beams of lasers, electrons or ions onto tiny pellets of D-T fuel.

Inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) is a process where nuclear fusion reactions are initiated by heating and compressing a fuel target, typically in the form of a pellet that most often contains a mixture of deuterium and tritium.

Practical power plants built using ICF have been studied since the late 1970s when ICF experiments were beginning to ramp up to higher powers ; they are known as inertial fusion energy, or IFE plants.

In the long term, despite the formidable technical hurdles, ICF research might potentially lead to the creation of a " pure fusion weapon ".

At the time fusion research appeared to be making great strides, and in particular, inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) appeared to be adaptable as a rocket engine.

In contrast to the large mass, complexity and recirculating power of conventional drivers for inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ), antiproton annihilation offers a specific energy of 90 MJ per µg and thus a unique form of energy packaging and delivery.

* 1972-The first neodymium-doped glass ( Nd: glass ) laser for ICF research, the " Long Path laser " is completed at LLNL and is capable of delivering ~ 50 joules to a fusion target.

The review of ICF by the National Academy of Sciences marked the trend with the observation: “ The energy crisis is dormant for the time being .” Energy becomes the sole purpose of heavy ion fusion.

** LLNL study compared projected costs of power from ICF and other fusion approaches to the projected future costs of existing energy sources.

The National Ignition Facility, or NIF, is a large, laser-based inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) research device located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, USA.

Inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) devices use " drivers " to rapidly heat the outer layers of a " target " in order to compress it.

Nova's partial success, combined with the Halite-Centurion numbers, prompted DOE to request a custom military ICF facility they called the " Laboratory Microfusion Facility " ( LMF ) that could achieve fusion yields of between 100 and 1, 000 MJ.

This process is known as inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ).

The Shiva laser was a powerful 20-beam infrared neodymium glass ( silica glass ) laser built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1977 for the study of inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) and long-scale-length laser-plasma interactions.

Nova was a high-power laser built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ( LLNL ) in 1984 which conducted advanced inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) experiments until its dismantling in 1999.

Nova was the first ICF experiment built with the intention of reaching " ignition ", a chain reaction of nuclear fusion that releases a large amount of energy.

Inertial confinement fusion ( ICF ) devices use drivers to rapidly heat the outer layers of a target in order to compress it.

Nova's partial success, combined with other experimental numbers, prompted Department of Energy to request a custom military ICF facility they called the " Laboratory Microfusion Facility " ( LMF ) that could achieve fusion yield between 100 and 1000 MJ.

To compress and heat the fuel, energy is delivered to the outer layer of the target using high-energy beams of laser light, electrons or ions, although for a variety of reasons, almost all ICF devices to date have used lasers.

The aim of ICF is to produce a condition known as " ignition ", where this heating process causes a chain reaction that burns a significant portion of the fuel.

Note that the ICF and ZAAP are essentially identical to CP, but distinguished for software cost control: they are slightly restricted such they cannot be used to run arbitrary operating systems, and thus do not count in software licensing costs ( which are typically based on the number of CPs ).

Above grade, ICF construction is typically more expensive, but when adding large openings, ICF construction becomes very cost effective.

The oldest discipline of ICF canoeing, sometimes referred to as " Flatwater Racing ", races are typically held for single, double and four-person sprint canoes and kayaks.

Na < sup >+</ sup > loss approximately correlates with fluid loss from extracellular fluid ( ECF ), since Na < sup >+</ sup > has a much higher concentration in ECF than intracellular fluid ( ICF ).

In contrast, K < sup >+</ sup > has a much higher concentration in ICF than ECF, and therefore its loss rather correlates with fluid loss from ICF, since K < sup >+</ sup > loss from ECF causes the K < sup >+</ sup > in ICF to diffuse out of the cells, dragging water with it by osmosis.
