METHOD OF GENERATING MOLTEN SALT NUCLEAR FUSION REACTION, AND NUCLEAR FUSION ENERGY SUPPLY APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nuclear fusion reaction method for generating a high- density ions/electron plasma using a simple means, and to provide a clean energy which is environmentally friendly without emitting radioactive wastes.;SOLUTION: High-density ions/electron plasma are generated by injecting ions accelerated by a gas discharge plasma to a molten salt surface of LiH or the like in a cathode. Coulomb barrier between atomic nuclei is countervailed by these high-density ions/electron plasma. Moreover, atomic nuclei are brought adjacent to reaction distance by a condensation force acting between the atomic nuclei in the molten salt, thereby inducing nuclear fusion reaction. Thermal energy, generated when an apparatus for inducing the nuclear fusion reaction is made a reactor core, is extracted via a coolant, while a nuclear fusion substance is separated from He which is a nuclear fusion reaction product material, and is returned to the reactor core and reused.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
