Saturn is the result of a major metamorphosis of the Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator-I (PBFA-I) from an ICF research facility to the large-area x-ray source of the Simulation Technology Laboratory (STL) project. Renamed Saturn, for its unique years and much of the existing PBFA-I support system. Saturn will include significant upgrades in the energy support facilities in addition to redesigning the storage and pulse-forming sections. The 36 magneti- accelerator for its new mission. Throughout the cally insulated transmission lines (MITLs) that design phases, attention was given to provide for provided power flow to the ion diode of PBFA-I were future adaptability and a wide range in operating replaced by a system of vertical triplate water trans- parameters. mission lines. These lines are connected to three horizontal triplate disks in a water convolute To meet the project goals, most of PBFA-I was section.
