A review is given of gas-dynamic thermonuclear fusion (GDTF) — a novel line of inertial thermonuclear fusion research based on the cumulative spherical compression of the deuterium — tritium gas using a high explosive charge. Major aspects of the research are examined and the record results achieved by the mid-1980s are discussed.
