The Fission-Fusion Hybrid Molten Salt Reactor: A Clean Energy Game Changer
- Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. (PPPL), Princeton, NJ (United States)
This White Paper proposes the Fission-Fusion Hybrid Molten Salt Reactor (FFHMSR) as the solution to the world’s growing need for abundant, carbon-free, safe electricity. The FFHMSR combines a critical molten salt fission reactor with a fusion source of energetic neutrons in a single connected system, offering advantages that neither has independently. The molten salt reactor provides improved safety and greater efficiency, while the neutron source’s high energy neutrons eliminate the need for fuel enrichment and reprocessing and can remove all actinides from the waste stream. The dynamic balance between the dual processes capitalizes on their strengths and synergies.
