The laser-based National Ignition Facility (NIF) is nearing completion at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). A dedication will be held in late May; a "campaign" to ignite small pellets containing fusion fuel will begin in 2010. With confidence of success running high, scientists at LLNL have been looking beyond NIF, considering what they believe may be the fastest way for fusion to impact the world's energy needs: the fusion-fission hybrid power plant. Dubbed "LIFE" for Laser Inertial Fusion-Fission Energy, the plant would use a repetitively-pulsed neutron-rich fusion source to drive a more energy-rich fission blanket surrounding the fusion region.
LLNL notes the fission blanket could consist of nuclear waste from today's nuclear fission plants, thereby "dramatically shrinking the planet's stockpile of spent nuclear fuel and other materials that lend ...
