    摘要: The invention provides a method using accelerators to produce radio-isotopes in high quantities. The method comprises: supplying a “core” of low-enrichment fissile material arranged in a spherical array of LEU combined with water moderator. The array is surrounded by substrates which serve as multipliers and moderators as well as neutron shielding substrates. A flux of neutrons enters the low-enrichment fissile material and causes fissions therein for a time sufficient to generate desired quantities of isotopes from the fissile material. The radio-isotopes are extracted from said fissile material by chemical processing or other means.

    摘要: A lithography apparatus includes a first measurement device which measures a position of a mark on a substrate with light, a second measurement device which measures a position of a reference mark on a stage with a charged-particle, a detector which detects the position of the stage in a first direction parallel to the axis of a projection system and a second direction perpendicular to this axis, and a controller. The controller determines a charged-particle beam, in which the angle, with respect to the first direction, at which it is incident on the reference mark falls within a tolerance, and obtains a baseline for the first measurement device from the position of the reference mark measured by the second measurement device using the determined charged-particle beam and the position of the reference mark measured by the first measurement device.

    摘要: Systems and methods for operating an accelerator driven sub-critical core. In one embodiment, a fission power generator includes a sub-critical core and a plurality of proton beam generators. Each of the proton beam generators is configured to concurrently provide a proton beam into a different area of the sub-critical core. Each proton beam scatters neutrons within the sub-critical core. The plurality of proton beam generators provides aggregate power to the sub-critical core, via the proton beams, to scatter neutrons sufficient to initiate fission in the sub-critical core.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for fast pulsing of a neutron generator is described in which a series of electrodes are used to first extract deuterium or tritium ions from a plasma contained within an ion source, and then either accelerate or stop the flow of ions to the source, depending upon the voltage potential applied to the downstream electrodes. In one embodiment, the extraction/gating system comprises 3 electrodes, a first extraction electrode which is maintained at the same positive potential as the ion sources, a second electrode maintained at a lower potential to extract ions from the source, and a third electrode which depending on the operational mode is maintained either at the same potential as the second electrode (for beam passage) or at a potential higher than that of the first electrode (for beam blockage).

    摘要: A power generation device that converts matter into energy. A solenoid is rotated circumferentially at high speed clockwise or counter-clockwise. A coiled semi-conductor tube of similar size, which contains charged particles in gas or plasma form is rotated at high speed in the opposite direction. The hollow coil is wrapped in a conducting coil that creates a magnetic field inside it, holding the particles in place as an RF coil injects a resonant frequency to align the spins of the particles. The particles are driven at a high rate of speed into the solenoid's Magnetic field. The resulting energy output is collected.
