The hohlraum is destroyed in the process, and currently costs millions of dollars to build a new one. Hohlraums are expensive but not millions of dollars. This 2004 report puts the cost at about $2500 each (still far too expensive for a power plant of course) while examining ways to get them under $1 each.
