Transmutation method and transmutation apparatus

摘要

A transmutation method and apparatus capable of extracting thermal energy and hydrogen with a simple configuration are provided. The reaction cells 1 and 100 made of a metal material such as SUS304 and iron in an oxygen-free state are heated by the heaters 6 and 115 to 500 ° C. or higher, and water is supplied into the reaction cells 1 and 100 to form water vapor. And nuclear reaction is caused by the reaction between the inner walls of the reaction cells 1 and 100, and hydrogen and thermal energy are taken out. If a reaction agent (NaOH, K2TiO3, etc.) containing at least an alkali metal and oxygen is accommodated in the reaction cells 1 and 100, a nuclear reaction occurs without water, and a reaction containing a reaction agent to activate the nuclear reaction. In order to supply water vapor into the cells 1 and 100 and further increase the metal surface, the reaction cells 1 and 100 may contain fins f and 124 as metal element supply bodies.
