Abstract
Nuclear energy is often perceived as consisting of two distinct and mutually exclusive technologies: fission or fusion. We develop here the synergetic extension which is based on the integration of these and other complementary nuclear processes in a manner so as to attain desirable characteristics not possible otherwise. The traditional fission or fusion classification of nuclear energy technologies is here taken as the essential starting point for our synergetic approach to the use of nuclear energy.
