Thorium--uranium cycle ICF hybrid concept
Description
The results of preliminary studies of a laser-driven fusion-fission hybrid concept utilizing the 232Th-233U breeding cycle are reported. Neutron multiplication in the breeding blanket is provided by a region containing 238UO2 and the equilibrium concentration of 239PuO2. Established fission reactor technology is utilized to determine limits on operating conditions for high-temperature fuels and structures. The implications of nonproliferation policies for the operation of fusion-fission hybrid reactors are discussed
