A « Water Motor » With an Accelerator, Water With High Natural Radioactivity and Fission

Abstract

The concept relies on the most recent innovations in laser spallation of neutrons altogether with the naturally radioactive waters available in profusion to develop fission power and propel a vehicle. It consists in a subcritical fission core of a new type designed to make use of the small but existing period in which low-weight radioactive elements, after neutron capture become fissile.
