At LLNL we are just beginning the National Ignition Facility project to build a laser for inertial confinement fusion research. Our software will be in Ada-95. (The Nova laser is controlled by Ada software as well). NIF is just completing the Title-I engineering phase; scheduled completion in 2002, project cost $1.1 billion. The design of the laser is 192 beams, each 40 cm aperture; 1.8 MegaJoule energy in 25 nanosecond pulse. Control system controls some 45000 points in six subsystems. Also at LLNL the physical security system called Argus is implemented in Ada. -- John Woodruff N I F \ ^ / Lawrence Livermore National Lab =====---- < 0 > 510 422 4661 / v \
