Some observation made :
1. Propagation of the modern industrialization in northern hemisphere going west with time flow ... Europe + Russia -> N-America->Japan->Korea->China (+South East Asia) -> India -> Middle East
2. We created speedy CO2 production system using high speed computers, could not stop or slow down due to Globally linked economy
3. And this system is also growing rapidly in volume (IN, CN, SE Asia)
mostly based on a mix of Carbon Fuel + IT Economy
results
the Speedy ice melting, ocean temperature and sea level rise, climate change
For our sustainability speedy deployment of counter measure is required
High density non-carbon energy resource -> Nuclear Energy

ITER Project launched ITER is a joint international research and development project (7BUSD const in 10yrs + 20yrs ops + 5yrs decommissioning)that aims to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power. Q > 5-10, 400-1000sec to steady-state operation
The partners in the project - the ITER Parties - are EU(represented by EURATOM), Japan, China, India, Korea, Russia and US ITER construction started in 2007

Selection of Materials for Nuclear Reactor Structures

Humbleness maintained!
FTR does use Existing or Near-term developed Technology and Material inFission and Fusion
- Structure material, divertor heat load, TBR maintained from fission- Proven plasma operation mode- Q < 5, low thermal fusion power- Q < 5, low thermal fusion power- pulsed mode operation, less cost for heating, diagnostics, power supply- subcritical fission reaction- passive safety- use established fission and fusion nuclear technology
Bridging commercially available fission technology to remote fusion energycommercialization

implementation consideration and plan
18Fusion-Fission hybrid workshop, Sep 09, Gaithersburg
Consideration for FTR implementation
1. Technically feasible? Can be built to an industrial grade?What quantitative advantage over other technical competitor?R&D -> Engr. -> manufacturing within time, A system is ready?
2. Who will use? Who will buy?
3. How urgent? When it could/should be done? Any priority setting is made?3. How urgent? When it could/should be done? Any priority setting is made?
4. How much does it cost? Use public money or private?How financing could be done?
5. Who will approve? Any implementation law available/international Framework available? Under what framework could it be implemented?

Time to check a readiness for FTR implementation
•Check fusion side details/readiness
•Check fission side/readiness•Check fission side/readiness
•Check interface development/readiness
•Check for detailed planning
•Establish step by step process
