A future power station using a fusion laser will operate in a pulse-periodic regime.
The total efficiency of the pumping system for the energy power station is one of the key parameters.
A complete specification of the power station must include the description of these components and of their interactions.
The total fusion gain of 35 would well be sufficient for a power station if lasers with more than 15% efficiency are available.
From this result it was concluded that the compressing block may be used as requested for light ion beam fusion for a power station.
As an analogy, to run a refrigerator to generate a local decrease in temperature requires someone, somewhere to be burning fuel in a power station.
For that reason we need research, and we also need decommissioning techniques for different types of nuclear power station.
Whether a fusion power station is eventually built or not, is for those who come after us to decide.
