Fusion-Fission Hybrid Nuclear Reactors: For Enhanced Nuclear Fuel Utilization and Radioactive Waste Reduction

by Weston M. Stacey

Nuclear energy might contribute to a long-term solution to stave off climate change. But current nuclear fission technology accesses only about 1-3% of the nuclear energy content of natural uranium, thus is expensive, inefficient and creates a nuclear waste disposal problem that has no solution in reach.

Combination with emerging nuclear fusion in fusion-fission hybrid technology could yield neutrons to convert much more of the Uranium into...
