The book collects the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Fusion-Fission sub-critical systems for waste management and safety (FUNFI2), dedicated to the physics, technology and engineering of machines where fusion reactions drive a fission blanket. Such hybrid devices can be used for energy generation, fissile fuel production and nuclear waste transmutation.
The concept of Fusion-Fission hybrid systems was introduced by H. Bethe (Physics Today 1979) and recently reviewed by H. Rebut (Plasma Physics Controlled Fusion 2006). The main aim of FUNFI2 conference is to identify the proposals/projects with a high degree of reliability to make the technology available, making the analysis of the level of readiness of the technology for a medium term (25 years) realization of a Fusion-Fission hybrid reactor.
