NUCLEAR COMBUSTION TURBINE WITH NATURAL TRITIUM USING HYDROGEN STORED IN MAGNETIC CONFINEMENT

Abstract

The invention relates to a method: The fusion reaction thus makes it possible to produce tritium continuously Tritium is extracted from heavy water at the "Tritium Removal Facility" (TRF) in two stages: Catalytic extraction in the vapor phase, then cryogenic distillation Tritium is extremely rare in its natural state (approximately one atom of tritium for 1018 atoms It would require A 150 MW Type K15 pressurized water reactor Can be mounted with tritium up to 3200 MW therefore 15 kg of tritium fuel, The fusion reaction of deuterium and tritium is the nuclear fusion reaction which releases the More energy: 17 MeV Fusion does not emit CO2 With one kilo of deuterium and tritium, as much energy is generated as with 100 kg of uranium Or 6 million kilos of natural gas. A fusion reactor with a power of 1 GW Will require by example 50 kg of tritium per year.So it would consist of on-board storage With A tokamak is a machine capable of creating and confining a hot plasma at nearly 150 million degrees in a ring-shaped magnetic cage. It consists of creating an intense current (of the order of several Mega-Amps) inside the plasma, a current which will itself generate the additional magnetic field Separation of hydrogen isotopes between 20 and 25k Cryogenic distillation process of non-exchangeable TRITIUM fuel, the sample also undergoes combustion in order to release the tritium in the form of gas which will then be trapped to form tritiated water.
