Abstract
The heavy-ion-beam driver model that was developed by McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Corporation as part of the Heavy Ion Fusion System Assessment study has been incorporated into the SAFIRE code. The model calculates the cost and performance of an induction linear accelerator and the beam transport systems required to deliver the beam to the fusion chamber. The results are used within the SAFIRE code for economic evaluation of inertial confinement fusion electric power plants. This report briefly describes the subroutines that make up the driver model, defines the variables that were added to the SAFIRE code, and gives an example of the output for a calculation using the new driver model.
