NUCLEAR REACTOR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: fusion power reactors. SUBSTANCE: nuclear reactor using mixture incorporating hydrogen and its isotopes has heat-resistant insulating vessel for receiving mixture with insert made in the form of thin metal ring electrode connected to external power supply capable of supplying positive charge to this vessel; positive charge ionizes hydrogen isotope atoms and imparts energy impulse to atom nuclei sufficient to overcome Coulomb barrier and to ensure nuclear reaction. EFFECT: enhanced operating reliability and control of nuclear reaction processes; improved protection against cavitation actions. 3 dwg
