“…In order to check and validate relevant technologies of C-DEMO based on viable technologies, a fusion engineering experimental reactor will be built in China. Recently, a series of scenarios for test reactor concept have been proposed, such as the Multi-Functional hybrid eXperimental reactor [5,12,13] and the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) [14].…”

Full superconducting tokamak and water-cooling Cu magnets tokamak are two options proposed for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). Based on the concept design, the total construction cost was assessed with System Analysis Program for Parameters Optimization and Economic Assessment of Fusion Reactor, and the economy of the two options was compared with considering the cost of electricity consumption in D-T burning operation stage. The total of both costs and D-T burning operation time for different material neutron radiation damage of the two options were also analyzed. The results showed that the two options would have different economic advantages in construction and operation, and that the Cu magnets tokamak option could save both time and cost if the required material neutron radiation damage of CFETR is \75 dpa.

“…Notwithstanding, hybrid fusion fission systems have been already studied for some decades, in the most prominent laboratories and a large bibliography was produced . Obviously much more papers on this topic have been published in more recent years (just to give some examples up to the end of the previous decade, see [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”

The fusion-fission hybrid reactor is a promising technology that is likely to assume an increasingly important role in the global energy scene in the coming years. This kind of reactor can use both the nuclear fusion and fission processes to produce energy: neutrons from fusion reactions are used to sustain the fission of a sub-critical system. This method allows to have an intrinsically safe facility, with higher efficiency than a fusion reactor itself and with a harder neutron energy spectrum than a fission reactor, which could be suitable for nuclear waste transmutation. This paper, in particular, analyzes a type of hybrid reactor for the transmutation of Minor Actinides (MA). Nuclear waste, in the oxide form, is inserted as an element of the First Wall (FW) of an ITER-like fusion reactor. The aim is to demonstrate the feasibility of the transmutation of the MA characterized by higher long term radiotoxicity into shorter lived nuclides. The neutron transport in a detailed 3D geometrical model of the ITER reactor (B-lite) was performed by MCNP6 code, while the transmutation of the MA loaded in a single element of the FW was performed by SERPENT2 code. A pulsed ITER-like irradiation scenario was used. The analysis, which must be considered as a preliminary feasibility study, lead to very promising results, which could be further improved with a longer DEMO-like irradiation scenario and a larger number of MA loaded (“fission waste”) elements loaded in the FW.
