inertial confinement [in′ər·shəl kən′fīn·mənt]

(nucleonics)

The rapid implosion of a high-density pellet, under bombardment by laser or charged-particle beams, to produce a core that is heated to extremely high temperatures before it can fly apart; proposed as a method for generating power from controlled thermonuclear reactions.
