China could build the first fusion-fission hybrid plant by 2030

Unlike pure fusion projects such as ITER, Xinghuo will combine fusion and fission. The high-energy neutrons from fusion reactions will trigger fission in surrounding materials, increasing energy output while potentially reducing nuclear waste.

So will the fission part of the plant will be processing nuclear waste?

Also, interesting that the hybrid nuclear plant has the opposite approach as hybrid nuclear bombs, where fission energy is used to trigger a fusion reaction.
