Abstract
The approach in the LLL-PNL hybrid design was decidedly conservative, based largely on presently understood technology rather than an extrapolation to future developments expected in both fission and fusion technology. In this way, it was possible for the laboratories to develop some parameterization for their hybrid concept while, at the same time, take advantage of existing fission and fusion technology. Based on the hypothesis that the fusion plasma can be successfully confined and sustained, the LLL-PNL mirror hybrid reactor currently has the following general characteristics:
