Tritium Breeding in a Fusion--Fission Hybrid Breeder Reactor [PDF]
, 1978 In order to construct a D-T fusion-fission hybrid breeder reactor there must be some guarantee that tritium will be available to fuel the fusion reaction. This can be achieved by breeding tritium in the blanket of the reactor.
