Description (excerpt):
The purpose of the workshop was to review the current status of hybrid research and revisit the potential for such devices to contribute in a substantial way to the production of carbon-free nuclear energy in the short-, mid-, and long-term future. DOE currently does not sponsor an ongoing research and development program in the area of hybrids, which presented the following practical challenge to the workshop participants:
Is the current status and future potential of fusion-fission hybrids sufficiently
promising to provide motivation for DOE to initiate a new R&D program in this area?
