• Fusion of hydrogen isotopes into helium isotopes
• No tokamak magnets or laser power supplies
• Nuclear fuel is confined and triggered within lattice
• Nuclear reactions enhanced by electron screening
• Extended Electrodynamics (EED) role
• NASA published results in Physical Review C2,3
• Locally hot but globally cold
• Commercialized in 2025 to produce medical radioisotopes4
Lattice Confinement Fusion Fast-Fission Hybrid Reactor
• Fusion neutrons fission uranium, spent fuel rods or thorium
• No enriched uranium, cleaner fission!
• Demonstrated with US Navy and GEC
• Supported by NASA STMD (NIAC) and NSF
Application
• LEO, Deep Space Power and High Isp Propulsion
• (Terrestrial)
