Fusion-fission power generating device having fissile-fertile material within the region of the toroidal field coils generating means

摘要

A fusion-fission reactor having a plasma containing toroidal fusion region for producing high energy neutrons from fusion reactions and a region external to the fusion region containing material which is both fissile with respect to high energy neutrons and fertile with respect to low energy neutrons. The device comprises a toroidal field generating means and a region of fissile-fertile material positioned within the region of the toroidal field generating means. The toroidal field generating means is positioned substantially adjacent the toroidal fusion region.
