Mes pérégrinations sur Internet m'ont fait trouver un article parlant d'un système hybride fusion/fission qui pourrait permettre non seulement de produire de l'énergie mais aussi de détruire les déchets radioactifs existants:
The idea behind the compact Fusion-Fission Hybrid is that fusion can be used to burn nuclear waste, producing energy and getting rid of much of the long-lived waste generated by nuclear reactors.
The CFNS would provide abundant neutrons through fusion to a surrounding fission blanket that uses transuranic waste as nuclear fuel. The fusion-produced neutrons augment the fission reaction, imparting efficiency and stability to the waste incineration process.
Y a t-il un spécialiste en physique nucléaire dans la salle pour me donner son opinion"It's always been known that fusion is good at producing neutrons and fission is good at making energy," he says. "Now, we have shown that we can get fusion to produce a lot of neutrons in a small space."
