What would be the advantage of a hybrid like that over a straight-up fission reactor?
- bane 11y agochecks the box for fusion? more seriously, it could split the energy production to some ratio of fusion/fission and produce less hard to handle waste. Since the fusion reaction provides the neutron source, it may not be as necessary to provide as fissionable material which may not be able to meltdown? I dunno, I have no knowledge or experience at all, this is my "if I was a sci-fi writer this is a thing I would put into a story"
- venomsnake 11y agoIf done correctly you fusion fission everything to pure iron?
