The fusion-fission hybrid will use high-energy neutrons produced by a fusion reaction to trigger fission in surrounding materials thereby boosting energy output and potentially reducing long-lived nuclear waste.

This… seems… highly theoretical.
It’s… It’s well within limits. Sustaining sequence.
Oh. Oh dear.
Is that a resonance cascade? Don’t see those every day.
I’d like to see a followup story published sometime other than the first of April.
Well you see. Mega projects in authoritarian countries rarely solve actual problem or serve a purpose. They‘re just there to make good headlines and be forgotten because the next mega project or innovation just made the news!
Are we saying things like the three gorges dam, china canals, and rail, are all just for show and don’t serve a purpose?
Partially yes absolutely. Some regions with more and more dams have recently experienced devastating floods, suggesting they‘ve tempered with nature a little too much. And yes, some of those new highspeed rails are barely ever used and mainly serve a symbolic purpose, namely connecting outer regions to the central power in Beijing in some way or form. Nearly nobody uses those and the best case scenario for them would be a war so they can transport masses of troops quickly.
It’s more accurate to say they might be, but not necessarily. China is very aware of the benefits of keeping ahead technologically.
