Subject: RE: BS: UT Austin Develops Hybrid Fusion Reactor
How does this effect the efficiency of the fission process? Remember that everything above iron absorbs energy on fusion, so the fusion part of the process won't produce more power, but absorb part of the fission energy produced. Still, since it's so cheap it won't be worth metering, it doesn't matter if we lose a bit.
