Hybrid fusion

Methods of hybrid fusion is important according to unsolved problem of nuclear wastes from fission reactors operating nowadays. Conventional fusion reactor can be equipped in special blanket that will be fission reactor in fact. Neutrons from fusion reaction will be absorbed in the blanket causing fission reaction. Neutrons from fissions would be also generated and they would support fission reactions in the blanket. Hybrid fusion can burn heavy isotopes, present in spent uranium fuel. Hybrid fusion has important advantages such as no need of blanket resistant to constant neutron bombardment or possibility to produced more power than single fusion power plant.

This is only concept so far and know, serious development is no undertaken.
