METHOD OF NUCLEAR ENERGY CONVERSION (ENERGY OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY AND/OR SPLIT) TO ELECTRIC ENERGY AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G21H1/12 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to produce low-voltage electricity due to the internal photoelectric effect in semiconductor photocells. Converter of nuclear energy into electrical energy comprises at least one layer of an activated scintillator with at least one radiating surface in contact with which is located a gradient waveguide coupled to the semiconductor element, the nuclear fuel in the form of fibers is dispersed into the activated scintillator layer, or this layer is in contact with at least one layer of nuclear fuel.

EFFECT: ensuring the possibility of increasing the efficiency of converting the energy of nuclear radiation into electrical energy, while at the same time it is possible to significantly reduce the size of such converters, increase their service life and reduce costs.
