The fusion hybrid
DOI: 10.1063/1.2995553
In the last few years nuclear fusion by magnetic confinement has made great progress. However, an economical pure fusion power plant is still many years away. In this article I will discuss how a combination of fusion and fission power might be much closer, and might be very helpful both to fission and fusion power.
