Technical advances and funding policies and problems in ERDA (Energy Research and Development Administration) work on laser-induced fusion and laser isotope separation are reviewed. Impressive progress is noted in glass laser development, pellet design, and fabrication; development of diagnostic equipment for measuring the incident laser beam, pellet dynamics, and thermodynamic thermonuclear reactions; and new computer codes for theoretical modeling, gas laser development (particularly short pulse CO2 lasers), and new lasing media. Fusion by laser pellet implosion and by electron beam pellet implosion are compared. Laser isotope separation is compared to gaseous diffusion and gas centrifugation enrichment processes.
