Waste Transmutation and Nuclear Energy Generation Using a Tokamak Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor

A tokamak fusion-fission hybrid reatcor is proposed as one of candidates for disposal ofthe long-lived actinides and fission product wastes and supply of future energy.To assess thefeasibility of transmutation of long-lived radiowastes using fusion-fission hybrid reactors,afusion core design is presented and several possible conceptual blankets are studied,for,re-spectively,actinides transmutation and fission product transmutation.The results show thatactinides and fission products may be effectively transmuted using the presented hybrid reac-tors.
