Aneutronic fusion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion
Lithium-6–deuterium fusion reaction: an aneutronic fusion reaction, with energy released carried by alpha particles, not neutrons.
Aneutronic fusion is any form of fusion power in which very little of the energy released is carried by neutrons. While the lowest-threshold nuclear fusion reactions release up to 80% of their energy in the form of neutrons, aneutronic reactions release energy in the form of charged particles, typically protons or alpha particles. Successful aneutronic fusion would greatly reduce problems associated with neutron radiation such as damaging ionizing radiation, neutron activation, and requirements for biological shielding, remote handling and safety.
Since it is simpler to convert the energy of charged particles into electrical power than it is to convert energy from uncharged particles, an aneutronic reaction would be attractive for power systems. Some proponents see a potential for dramatic cost reductions by converting energy directly to electricity, as well as in eliminating the radiation from neutrons, which are difficult to shield against.[1][2] However, the conditions required to harness aneutronic fusion are much more extreme than those required for deuterium-tritium fusion being investigated in ITER.
Thank you. I appreciate your willingness to put these stories up.
Missouri residents, do you believe this?
Waiting for someone to Post the obligatory Mr. Fusion picture.
And always remember, even a granted patent does not mean that the tech therein actually works. It just means that what is claimed is novel and non-obvious when compared to the prior art. That is all.
