The National Ignition Facility(NIF) megajoule laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory(LLNL)\cite{moses} has produced a significant amount of useful physics results related to inertial confinement fusion since it began operating in 2010. However, achievement of its primary goal of generating ignition in a thermonuclear plasma has proven elusive, and measured yields were far below those expected from an ignited, and burning, plasma. The reason for the limited yields has not been explained in detail. This work proposes, and shows support for, the possibility that the low yields may be the result of ejecta from the interior of the target containment, and driving, shell.

Snowplow Model Predictions for Plasma Temperature in Z pinch Discharges
In the modified snowplow model, the plasma temperature at pinch scales as (E/E0)^n, with n=1/2 when only the capacitor voltage is increased.
