GEOTHERMAL-NUCLEAR ENERGY RELEASE AND RECOVERY SYSTEM

摘要

A system for mining geothermal energy utilizing the detonation of a deeply buried nuclear device such as nuclear fusion bomb or a nuclear fission bomb to produce a chimney cavity and fractures in a rocky geothermal stratum. Heat exchange fluid is introduced into the cavity and is transferred to flood a higher permeable stratum closer to the surface of the earth. Heat exchangers are introduced into the flooded zone to transfer heat and energy to the surface for utilization.
