Abstract. An overview of the emulsion process to make fuel capsules for a laser fusion power plant is presented, emphasizing the fact that high quality shells, of which sphericity is close to the extrapolated NIF standard, were successfully fabricated. A simulation model for the centering process, by which uniformly thick shells were formed, was compared with the experiment, and showed good agreement. It was indicated that the water core approaches the center by repeated instantaneous deformations.
