The fusion-fission hybrid concept is envisaged as a system that balances the advantages and disadvantages of the two nuclear generation paradigms; fission creates large amounts of energy per reaction, while fusion creates less energy per reaction but can generate abundant neutrons without the need for a chain reaction.
A fusion-fission hybrid reactor, then, would use a fusion reactor to provide neutrons to an encapsulating ‘blanket’ of fissile materials, so fusion is essentially used as a stable fuel source for traditional fission-based energy generation. What are the advantages of such a hybrid system?
The fusion-fission hybrid system has the potential attractiveness of good safety performances and plenty of fuel compared to the fission reactor system and also easing the requirement of fusion plasma technology. It is a practical path to the early fusion application for energy production.
There are no standards for validation, assurance or qualification processes associated with fusion power plants; and hence, fission standards are applied, which tends to substantially reduce the design space for fusion plants.
A digital framework that integrates the many facets of the design, build and operation of future commercial fusion power plants is proposed.
In the first decades of the atomic era, fusion-fission hybrid systems (FFHSs) were developed for military applications. The civilian use of hybrid systems in the energy sector, which was also foreseen by the creators of nuclear explosives, has proved to be much more difficult.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide.
