Ah yes, I suppose we did get a little derailed, but you do know what site this is?
I still don't really believe that ICF will ever be viable for power generation due to the terrible efficiency of lasers plus the difficulty in burning a fuel pellet a few times a second while managing to capture the energy efficiently. I also note that the NIF is funded from the USA's nuclear weapons programme, rather than from the department of energy.
That said,I would be most happy to be wrong here!
