RESONANT DIRECT NUCLEAR REACTIONS FOR ENERGY AND TRITIUM PRODUCTION

摘要

This invention relates to a means and apparatus for producing prime power and tritium from single-neutron, resonant, direct nuclear reactions of heavy hydrogen isotopes (8) and selected metal nuclei (10). The invention uses conventional electrical heating (21) and ion acceleration to induce nuclear reactions resulting in the generation of heat and tritium with little or no induced radioactivity or radioactive waste being produced.
