It is shown by comparison with calculations that anomalies in the results of intense laser irradiation of solid targets, including two-humped ion distributions, indicate a reduction of electron thermal conduction to considerably below classical values. This reduction is interpreted as a flux limit and appears to be sufficiently restrictive to modify significantly the design of laser fusion targets.
