Summary of the Fusion-Fission Hybrid Fuel Cycle Analysis (Tritiumless Hybrids)

摘要

Fusion-fission hybrid reactors offer the opportunity for fusion to impact the energy production scenario at an earlier date and in a more substantial fashion than simple fusion electricity reactors. This hypothesis is predicated on the belief that the technological problems associated with fusion-fission hybrids can be solved in a timely manner. Elimination or deferral of such systems could help to ease the introduction of fusion-fission reactors. It this summary we look at the elimination of the tritium breeding function in the fusion blanket and its effect on the early introduction of hybrid reactors. (ERA citation 05:017248)
