AB  - Computations are to be performed using the laser driven inertial fusion energy option based
on volume ignition with the natural adiabatic self-similarity compression and expansion hydrodynamics
[1]. The numerical work includes the establishing of a multi-branch reaction code to be used for
simultaneous fusion reactions of D-D, D-T D-He3 and mutual nuclear reaction products. This will
permit the studies of neutron lean reactions as well as tritium-rich cases. The D-T reactions will stress
the recent new results on one step laser fusion [2] as an alternative to the two-step fast ignitor scheme
whose difficulties with new physics phenomena at petawatt laser interaction are more and more evident
[3].
