Sat 10-13 00 Livermore Calif. Up researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced Friday they Are building a laser that will be 10 times More powerful than Nova currently the most powerful laser in the world. The a pet Awatt a or 1,000 trillion Watt a laser made possible with revolutionary new technology will have such applications As new forms of electrical Energy production from fusion. Fusion the. Process that Powers the Sun and stars occurs when heavy isotopes of Hydrogen Combine releasing Energy. Fusion is of interest to Livermore scientists because of its similarity to nuclear weapons reactions and because of its potential As a Safe clean and  source of Energy. The description of the new laser published in the journal science was made possible with the recent declassification of nuclear weapons research by the , department of Energy. The Livermore lab is operated by the University of California under contract to the Energy department. One of the lasers first applications will be in laser fusion studies that attempt to heat pellets of Hydrogen atoms until they unite releasing Trameri Dous Energy that might be harnessed for electricity said physicist Michael Perry Leader of the project. A once completed in december 1995, the pet Awatt laser would generate 1,000 trillion Watts in pulses As Short As a half Millionth of a second a he said. A for this extraordinarily Short interval this Power represents about 1,000 times the output of the entire . Electrical  currently the 10-beam Nova laser emits 100 trillion Watts of Power in less than a billionth of a second. While the amount of Energy from the new laser could Power Only a 100-Watt Light bulb for about 10 seconds compression of the Energy pulse into a Flash of Light can increase the Light intensity to extraordinary proportions Perry said the new laser will use Only one of Novas 10 arms or strings of lasers a yet produce tenfold the Power of the entire current laser fusion facility by reducing the pulse duration a thousandfold he said
