In all cases, the prospective customers responded with technical requirements.

The technical collaboration continues between the University of Illinois Fusion Studies Laboratory and DASA FusionStar. The goal is to scale up the fundamental research support and to enlarge the FusionStar development team. IEC may be further developed for:

--AN OPTIONAL GAS MIXTURE THAT PROVIDES HIGHER NEUTRON ENERGY AND

FLUX. --A PULSED NEUTRON GENERATOR THAT PROVIDES HIGHER NEUTRON FLUX

AND PULSED MODE OPERATION --THE LINE SOURCE CHAMBER THAT WILL BE PULSED.
