| Sumario: | Fusion-fission hybrid (FFH) reactors are an interesting alternative for the generation of electricity without the emission of greenhouse gases, and for the transmutation of spent nuclear fuel produced in fission reactors. FFHs multiply the advantage of separate fusion and fission reactors and minimize their disadvantages. Fusion naturally produces neutrons and a relatively low amount of energy, whereas fission produces more energy per reaction but requires a constant flux of neutrons. The basic design of a FFH consists on a fusion reactor surrounded by a subcritical blanket of fissile material.The present project aims to develop models for the neutronic calculation of fusion-fission hybrid reactors, taking as a start point the neutron source produced from a Tokamak-type fusion reactor. The project is a collaboration between the Neutron Physics Department and the Nuclear Fusion and Plasma Physics Section of the National Atomic Energy Commission. |
