Fusion-fission hybrid reactors are seen as a possible, mid-term, CO2-free energy source. Starting from the progress in understanding the reversed field pinch plasma confinement, a pilot neutron source with a configuration of R = 4 m and a = 0.8 m and a plasma current of up to 14 mega-ampére (MA) is proposed. A staged experimental approach, with increased complexity and investment, was identified to tackle the existing issues related to scientific and technological aspects and to test the D-T operation at reduced fusion power (P_fus 30 MW, Q 0.4, continuous pulsed operation).
In a world increasingly facing new challenges at the forefront of plasma scientific research and technological innovation, CNR and ISTP pledge progress and achieve an impact in the integration of research into societal practices and policy
