Hybrid fusion: the third nuclear option
There is a way of returning to nuclear while overcoming safety and waste concerns: hybrid nuclear fusion. The concept has been around for decades, and has been discussed in the technical literature and at the International Atomic Energy Agency. But it has not yet been explained to governments, industry, researchers and the public.
