Abstract
In laser IFE reactors the reflectivity and absorptivity of the grazing incidence metal mirror (GIMM) depend on the neutron dose received by the mirror surface. In addition to this effect, surface deformation ca used by neutron-irradiation-induced swelling and due to thermal load c hanges the focusing quality of the mirror. In the present work, we pre sent the database for material selection of the final GIMM of the Prom etheus-L IFE reactor. A unique design for the GIMM, which accounts for mirror surface deformation by thermal and swelling effects is then pr esented.
