Not sure about “pulse plasma fusion”… but there were designs for a pulse plasma transport drive (for space vehicles), using fission originally I think… perhaps they transitioned the idea to using fusion reactors?
The Bussard approach is delightfully elegant in its theoretical simplicity… but like all fusion approaches, the devil was discovered in the details…
Fusion, the power source that is always 50 years in the future.
