The potential is analyzed to develop synergy between thermonuclear neutrons of three-component (D–T– 3 He)-plasma and neutrons obtained through fission in a subcritical blanket. Thermonuclear neutrons irradiating the subcritical blanket are capable of maintaining a stationary fission chain reaction...
