nuclear fission involves the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei while nuclear fusion involves the combining of light nuclei into a single heavier nucleus both processes produce vast amounts of energy but each has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages as an energy source
Hybrid nuclear fusion-fission (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to the delays in the realization of pure fusion.
