Portions of the 1982 Disney film Tron were filmed at the site.Shiva target chamber during maintenance.View inside the Shiva target chamber, 1978. The needle-like object in the center of the image is the target holder, various instruments are pointed to image the explosions at its tip.
The Shiva laser was a powerful 20-beam infrared neodymium glass (silica glass) laser built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1977 for the study of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and long-scale-length laser-plasma interactions. Presumably, the device was named after the multi-armed form of the Hindu god Shiva, due to the laser's multi-beamed structure. Shiva was instrumental in demonstrating a particular problem in compressing targets with lasers, leading to a major new device being constructed to address these problems, the Nova laser.
