The potential of the Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) for industrial applications inmany fields is well recognized, although yet to be realized in practice.Particularly attractive is the possibility of its use as inexpensive industrialsource of nuclear reactions for diverse high value applications such as fastpulsed neutron radiography of hydrogenous materials, non-intrusive neutroninterrogation of concealed organic contraband and rapid production of shortlived radioisotopes for medical diagnostics and therapy. Recently, it has beensuggested that it may be possible to operate the DPF efficiently in aHigh-Pressure-Optimized (HPO) mode. This paper explores the design parameterspace for such HPO-DPF based on the revised Resistive Gratton-Vargas (RGV)model with a view to identify a practicable set of system parameters and theirscaling. The current waveform predicted by the revised RGV model for the chosenset of parameters is fitted to the Lee model to estimate the likely neutronyield.
