Resumen de Power plants: Fusion- triggered fission.
The article discusses research by physicists and engineers at the U.S. National Ignition Facility in Livermore, California, who have developed scheme that uses fusion, which is a process where two or more hydrogen atoms merge, releasing neutrons and energy, to drive fission, which is the process of splitting an atom into separate parts. A brief overview of the benefits of a hybrid fusion-fission power plant is presented.
