When the LIFE project was first proposed, it focused on the nuclear fusion–fission hybrid concept, which uses the fast neutrons from the fusion reactions to induce fission in fertile nuclear materials. [17] The hybrid concept was designed to generate power from both fertile and fissile nuclear fuel and to burn nuclear waste.
Nuclear fusion–fission hybrid (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to the delays in the ...
“Nuclear fission power plants have the disadvantage of generating unstable nuclei; some of these are radioactive for millions of years,” the International Atomic Energy Agency states on its ...
Hybrid nuclear power is a proposed means of generating power by the use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to delays in the realization of pure fusion.
Nuclear fission is a substantial part of the world’s energy mix, but out in the broader universe, fission is much harder to come by. Until now.
Since nuclear fusion produces no planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, news outlets referred to fusion as “the ‘holy grail' of carbon-free, clean energy” and asserted as fact that ...
Nuclear chain reactions in fissionable materials produce induced nuclear fission. Various nuclear fusion reactions of light elements power the energy production of the Sun and stars. Most nuclear reactions (fusion and fission) results in transmutation of nuclei (called also nuclear transmutation).
