Claim 19:
20. A method for continuously supplying a target material in an uninterrupted manner, the method comprising:
receiving a solid matter that includes a target material in a priming system maintained at a priming pressure and producing a fluid target material from the solid matter;
maintaining fluid communication between a first fluid reservoir and a nozzle supply system during operation of the nozzle supply system while maintaining the first fluid reservoir at a first pressure that is greater than the priming pressure; and
at least part of the time during operation of the nozzle supply system, enabling a transfer of fluid target material between the first fluid reservoir and a second fluid reservoir at the first pressure while the fluid target material is being produced in the priming system at the priming pressure.
