Analysis of the problems and potential of two nuclear technologies based on fusion reactions of light nuclei and fission of heavy nuclei shows the following. Independent large-scale development of each one will make it necessary to overcome still unsolved technological, materials science, environmental, and economic problems, raising the question of the expediency of further development of these energy industries. At the same time, the physical features of the fission and fusion processes objectively indicate the expediency of combining them into a unified nuclear energy system, which will have a large synergistic effect. This will greatly mitigate the adverse aspects of each technology that will appear if the two systems develop independently. Calculations of neutron multiplication in the blanket of a hybrid thermonuclear reactor that confirm the physical feasibility and reliability of picking the direction of development in the form of a unified nuclear energy system are presented.

热核聚变的能源展望

基于轻核聚变反应和重核裂变的两种核技术的问题和潜力分析如下。每一个独立的大规模开发都需要克服尚未解决的技术、材料科学、环境和经济问题，提出了进一步发展这些能源产业的权宜之计的问题。同时，裂变和聚变过程的物理特征客观地表明将它们组合成一个统一的核能系统是有利的，这将产生很大的协同效应。如果两个系统独立开发，这将大大减轻每种技术的不利方面。
