Mirror hybrid (fusion-fission) reactor
Abstract
The reference mirror hybrid reactor design is summarized. The reactor parameters were to minimize the cost of producing fissile fuel for consumption in fission power reactors. Existing technology was used wherever possible. The resulting reactor may thus be viewed as a comparatively near-term goal of the fusion program, improved performance for the hybrid in the future is projected as more advanced technology becomes available.
