ResumoA hybrid fusion–fission facility, which features an asymmetric assembly of fuel blocks placed in a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor and an extended plasma source of deuterium–tritium (D–T) neutrons, is investigated to evaluate its thermophysical and gas-dynamic characteristics. The proposed installation generates a power in the ∼10–100 MW th range, has small dimensions, and produces a relatively low level of radioactive waste. Thus, it is suitable for regional energy production. An optimization of the thermophysical and gas-dynamic characteristics is presented. The objective is to reduce the emerging offsets of the radial energy formed in the volume of the multiplying part of the facility. These offsets are caused by the pulsed operation of the D–T neutron plasma source.
