Popis:	We discuss the feasibility of developing a high-power thermonuclear neutron source driven by laser pulses. Using one-dimensional numerical simulations for targets made in the form of double-sided cones, for an absorbed Nd-laser energy of ∼ 1 MJ (at the second and third harmonics) and pulse duration of 10 – 20 ns it is possible to achieve a neutron yield at a level of 1016 – 1017 per shot. This neutron yield is a prerequisite to the commencement of work to develop a hybrid nuclear-thermonuclear reactor.
