Change in recurring laser energy

 “The EYC project will raise NIF’s peak recurring laser energy from 2.2 megajoules to 2.6 megajoules.”


Are there new or planned upgrades to the NIF optical system to effectively handle
the higher energy without increasing optical maintenance or replacement intervals?
