<p> Three symbiotic systems are considered. These include the
possibility of coupling the tritium production in a fission reactor
with the fertile conversion in a fusion blanket. Equations for the
fuel dynamics, power output, efficiency and costs of a symbiotic, selfcontained power station are developed and evaluated for a specific,
1500 MWe fission reactor operating on a thorium cycle and some fusion
parameters. It is concluded that a system using the tritium produced
in a fission reactor has lower costs and increased power output when
compared to an alternate system. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
