摘要:
THE INVENTION RELATES TO THE RECOVERING OF THE HIGHTEMPERATURE HEAT-ENERGY DISSIPATED IN THE CORE OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR AND USING A TIN CYCLE IN WHICH STANNIC OXIDE (SNO2) IS DECOMPOSED AT HIGH TEMPERATURE INTO A GASEOUS MIXTURE OF STANNOUS OXIDE (SNO) AND OXYGEN (O2) WHICH, AFTER COOLING, GIVES SOLID STANNOUS OXIDE (SNO) AND OXYGEN. THEN STANNOUS OXIDE IS ALLOWED TO DISMUTE INTO STANNIC OXIDE (SNO2) WHICH IS RECYCLED AND INTO TIN WHICH IS USED TO DECOMPOSE WATER STEAM (H2O) INTO (H2) AND INTO AMINE OXIDE (SNO2) WHICH IS RECYCLED.

A highly heat-resistant laminated component for a fusion reactor has at least of a plasma-facing area made of tungsten or a tungsten alloy, a heat-dissipating area of copper or a copper alloy with a mean grain size of more than 100 μm, and an interlayer of a refractory metal-copper-composite. The refractory metal-copper-composite has a macroscopically uniform copper and refractory-metal concentration progression and a refractory metal concentration of between 10 vol. % and 40 vol. % over its entire thickness.
摘要:
A neutron radiation installation for treatment of different types of cancer tumours, comprising a source of neutrons (11), like a nuclear reactor or an accelerator dependent source of radiation, a conventional filter (14) for reducing the radiation energy to a suitable level for radiation treatment of cancer tumours, having low energetic neutron beams of an energy of between 1 eV and 40 keV, or preferably between 1 keV and 20 keV, and a radiation tube (22) out of which radiation beams are emitted towards a patient (10) having a cancer tumour (23), whereby an optimum radiation is obtained at a distance of between 50 and 100 cm from the output surface of the conventional filter (14), and in which the installation comprises an additional radiation filter (21) mounted between the conventional filter (14) and the output of the radiation tube, which additional filter is of a material which filters off neutrons in the epithermic spectrum from low energetic neutron beams up to an energy of about 1 keV, in particular metallic lithium, or another form of the element lithium, which has been enriched to about 95% in the isotope Li6.
摘要:
An improved neutron reflecting supermirror structure comprising a plurality of stacked sets of bilayers of neutron reflecting materials. The improved neutron reflecting supermirror structure is adapted to provide extremely good performance at high incidence angles, i.e. up to four time the critical angle of standard neutron mirror structures. The reflection of neutrons striking the supermirror structure at a high critical angle provides enhanced neutron throughput, and hence more efficient and economical use of neutron sources. One layer of each set of bilayers consist of titanium, and the second layer of each set of bilayers consist of an alloy of nickel with carbon interstitially present in the nickel alloy.
摘要:
A nuclear power plant constructed with a nuclear reactor core centrally mounted within an elongated, split chamber pressure vessel having contained solid state heat transfer conductors for transfer of heat from a liquid core coolant to a gas power medium in an upper heat exchange chamber of the pressure vessel, and having a discharge mechanism for dumping the reactor core when spent into a lower radioactive material storage chamber of the pressure vessel, the power plant including a power generating system having a steam turbine, an electrical generator and a gas compressor.
