Materials Compatibility Considerations for a Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor Design

The Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor for Energy Production: A Practical Path to Fusion Application

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. In this paper, a fusion-driven subcritical reactor for energy multiplier, named FDS-EM, is proposed. It ca...

simulation of an icf reaction as a source in an mcnpx 2.6.0 simulation for a fission-fusion hybrid reactor

in this work, we had examined 7 different types of neutron sources -an isotropic point source, sending 14.1(mev) monoenergetic neutrons ,an spherical source with 30 micron radius sending 14.1 (mev) monoenergetic neutrons, and a 30 micron radius spherical source having gaussian fusion energy spectrum from a d-t fusion, with different bandwidths -1,10,50,100 and 1000 kev and investigated 5 differ...
