2 pm, which is less than a wavelength optical penetration and less than the depth as shown in Table 2 and therefore should cause no interference with the laser reflection. The problem here appears to be a long-term contamination of the liquid which sets the design requirement liquid. Impurity for clean up of the contaminates can be serious as they can segregate to the surface. Those systems are favored that have major contaminants or fluoride in lithium This contamination sink as in lithium oxide as opposed to lead oxides floating on lead for example.

Non uniform laser heating is not predicted to lead to ripples. More analysis will be needed to determine feasibility of the concept and to chose which liquid metal best meets the IFE requirements. Experimental verification of the GILMM idea is recommended. Acknowledgments Discussions with M. Hoffman, Robert Kelley, N. Morley, S. Payne and A. Ying are appreciated. 37 References 1. R. L.
