Talk:Laser Inertial Fusion Energy

Why they gave up on fusion-fission
In 2015 I emailed several of the former LIFE team members to understand why they changed the design from the fusion-fission hybrid to a pure fusion model. I got two detailed responses in return, and they both agreed on the reason: when their corporate liaison team went to talk to their industrial partners in the energy business, they found universal disinterest for any system that incorporated any amount of fissile materials. That is a very interesting state of affairs. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:04, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
