NUCLEAR TRANSMUTATION PROCESS OF URANIUM AND PRODUCTION OF METALS BY LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR REACTIONS

摘要

The EUCAN Technologies, GmbH, signed a contract with the "Laboratorio Nazionale per la caratterizzazione dei rifmti radioattivi" of ENEA-Saluggia, in order to carry out some experiments and for the product characterization. The activities started in October 1996. The laboratory has carried out the following activities: 1. A complete characterization of starting materials, determining the content of Sb, Pb, Bi, Rh, Al, Ru, Au, Ti, Mg, Th, Cu, Ag, Pd, Ni and Sc. 2. Two cold tests in order to evaluate the performances of the reactor, the gas production, the gas speed, the smoke production, the reaction time, etc. 3. An evaluation of the best configuration of the reactor in order to quantitatively recover the powder in the smoke fraction. A first report to EUCAN was delivered in December 1996. 4. A hot test with Th has been done and the recovered materials have been characterized. The results are reported in this document. 5. A hot test with natural U has been done and the recovered materials are under characterization. The results will be reported to EUCAN. The results of the first series (1996-97) and of the second series (1997-98) of experiments have been reported in the Proceedings of ICCF-7. It was possible to show the reality of seasonal effects in Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. To make a further demonstration of the reality of these experimental results a third series of tests was carried out on May 21 and May 25 1998.
