CONTROLLED THERMONUCLEAR FUSION PROCESS AND CONTROLLED THERMONUCLEAR REACTOR IMPLEMENTING IT Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: power engineering, nuclear physics, thermonuclear fusion. SUBSTANCE: fuel mixture is doped with substances possessing large area of their interaction with neutrons, positive energy release, and incorporating, in addition to other products of reaction, tritium, such as ⁶Li, ⁷Li, ³He. Neutrons formed in thermonuclear fusion reactions are focused onto fuel mixture, ³He and T nuclei are separated from products of reaction and returned to source fuel mixture. Reactor has working chamber with plasma forming and holding unit, energy conversion device, fuel mixture treatment and introduction unit. Plasma forming unit is provided with device for forming and focusing thermal neutron flux with neutron source. Fuel mixture introduction unit faces focus area of device for forming and focusing thermal neutron flux. Separating unit for products of reaction is connected to treatment unit and to fuel mixture introduction unit. Coolant flows through working chamber of reactor and through separating unit for products of reaction. EFFECT: improved reliability of nuclear fusion control. 9 cl, 9 dwg, 1 tbl
