Abstract
The paper evaluates a possibility of principle to create conditions for mutually profitable influence of fusion neutrons emitted by three-component (D–T–3 He)-plasma and fission neutrons emitted by subcritical blanket. Irradiation of subcritical blanket by fusion neutrons can maintain stationary chain fission reaction while irradiation of plasma by fission neutrons can intensify tritium breeding through 3 He(n,p)T-reaction.
