Abstract
Integral Transport methods were used to calculate the x-ray intensity in a NOVA hohlraum. Two cases were examined: the nominal case in which all five lasers strike either side of the hohlraum and the abnormal case for which f ive lasers strike the right side but only four strike the left. As expected , the uniform case produces a fairly uniform illumination over the capsule, whereas the abnormal case is highly non-uniform.
