The SAFIRE (Systems Analysis for ICF Reactor Economics) code incorporates analytical models for scaling the cost and performance of several inertial confinement fusion reactor concepts for electric power. The code allows us to vary design parameters (e.g., drive-energy, chamber pulse rate, net electric power) and evaluate the resulting change in capital cost of the power plant and the busbar cost of electricity. The SAFIRE code can be used to identify the most attractive operating space and to identify those design parameters with the greatest leverage for improving the economics of inertial confinement fusion electric power plants. ' Calculate target yield, fusion power, and thermal power 1 Calculate size of chamber Calculate thermal-to-electric conversion efficiency L_ Calculate gross electric power ' Calculate driver efficiency and power requirement I' Calculate net electric power i Calculate costs of chamber, balance of plant, driver, and target factory
