Abstract

This paper presents a new way to realize controlled nuclear fusion. The way is that a single energy neutron beam fuses with given nuclei, such as lithium nuclei or boron nuclei, so that the nuclear energy is released. The sort of fusion can be achieved at low temperatures, because a neutron has no charge and has a large reaction cross section with a nucleus. The fusion is easy to control and does not produce radioactive spent nuclear fuel. One of the five sorts of neutron sources is the electron neutron source in which a single energy electron beam collides with a single energy bare nucleus beam, such as the deuteron, to produce a single energy neutron. These neutrons irradiate target nuclei and are absorbed by the target nuclei, so that nuclear energy is released. Compared with conventional fusion, it has the disadvantage of releasing less energy and energy density. In addition, it takes a certain amount of energy to produce a beam of single-energy neutrons. However, if some of the input energy can be effectively recycled, the fusion process must produce more energy than the input energy.
实现低温受控核聚变的一种可能方法
本文提出了一种实现可控核聚变的新方法。这种方法是单一能量的中子束与给定的原子核,如锂核或硼核发生聚变,从而释放出核能。这种聚变可以在低温下实现,因为中子不带电荷,与原子核的反应截面很大。这种聚变很容易控制,而且不会产生放射性的乏核燃料。五种中子源中的一种是电子中子源,其中单能量电子束与单能量裸核束(如氘核)碰撞,产生单能量中子。这些中子照射目标原子核并被目标原子核吸收,从而释放出核能。与传统核聚变相比,它的缺点是释放能量少,能量密度小。此外,产生一束单能中子需要一定的能量。然而,如果一些输入能量能够有效地回收,聚变过程必须产生比输入能量更多的能量。
