I've always thought x-ray transparent plasma holds rad channel open, tweak spectrum... Just doesn't have enough pressure vs abltn

@wellerstein Are both methods needed? Foam to slow ablation on outer-case while X-Rays ablates raw tamper? Control / focuses?

if foam slows ablation on outer case, why would it not also do so on thermo fuel?

My impression is that there are several ways to skin that cat.

as a point of differentiation between straight "radiation implosion" approaches.

thinking foam could act like a radiation tamper. Stop rad from bursting case. But rad still hits raw secondary?

like rad lens Slows ablation out but allows ablation inward secondary. Secondary carrot shaped uniform exposure?
