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.

So it’s a fission reaction boosted by fusion?
Essentially yes.
Normally, the amount of neutrons generated in a fusion reactor is an issue. Here it is an asset.
