FIELD: physics, atomic power.
SUBSTANCE: present group of inventions relates to means of studying nuclear fusion reactions involving nuclei of hydrogen isotopes. The invention involves forming a metallic crystalline body (MCB) via condensation of metal vapour and embedding atoms of hydrogen isotopes into the MCB so that at least some of the atoms with hydrogen nuclei are at the shortest possible distance from each other. Atoms of hydrogen isotopes are embedded simultaneously to form the MCB itself by condensation of metal vapour in a medium of gaseous hydrogen isotopes and by fusion of metal microcrystals obtained via condensation of metal vapour in a medium of gaseous hydrogen isotopes and annealing in a medium of gaseous hydrogen isotopes. The disclosed apparatus comprises the following units, connected by gas pipes with valves: a source of gaseous hydrogen isotopes; a reactor capable of evaporating metal and condensing metal vapour into a MCB in a medium of gaseous hydrogen isotopes; a means of controlling pressure of the gaseous medium in the source of gaseous hydrogen isotopes and in the reactor; means of monitoring pressure of said gaseous medium; and means of detecting products of nuclear reactions.
EFFECT: creating conditions for increasing intensity of nuclear reactions.
