Abstract

Предложен способ, согласно которому в линейном ускорителе в предпочтительном варианте монохроматического типа производят ускорение электронов до энергии около 10 МэВ, которые направляют на мишень из вещества, имеющего большой атомный номер Z, например из вольфрама, осуществляя генерацию гамма-излучения. Это излучение направляют на вещество, служащее в качестве ядерного топлива, например на уран-238 (U), что приводит к возникновению реакции (γ,f), в результате которой высвобождается энергия около 200 МэВ. Чтобы ядерный реактор, созданный согласно этому принципу, развивал мощность около 20 МВт, необходимо создавать возбуждение посредством ускорителя с мощностью 1 МВт. Реакция не является самоподдерживающейся и останавливается при прекращении подачи пучка. Ядерный реактор с возбуждением посредством ускорителя может быть легко использован для "сжигания" отработанного ядерного топлива, полученного из ядерных реакторов деления, в том случае, когда его функционирование осуществляют при энергии 10 МэВ. Реакция фотонного деления приводит к фоторасщеплению таких типичных побочных продуктов отработанного ядерного топлива, как цезий-137 (Cs) и стронций-90 (Sr), посредством реакции (n,γ), в результате чего получают короткоживущие или устойчивые продукты реакции.Отчет о международном поиске был опубликован 2002.06.13.A method is proposed according to which in a linear accelerator, in the preferred embodiment of a monochromatic type, electrons are accelerated to an energy of about 10 MeV, which are sent to a target from a substance having a large atomic number Z, for example from tungsten, through gamma radiation. This radiation is directed to a substance that serves as a nuclear fuel, for example, to uranium-238 (U), which leads to the reaction (γ, f), as a result of which energy of about 200 MeV is released. In order for a nuclear reactor constructed according to this principle to develop a power of about 20 MW, it is necessary to create an excitation through an accelerator with a power of 1 MW. The reaction is not self-sustaining and stops when the beam is stopped. A nuclear reactor with excitation through an accelerator can be easily used to "burn" spent nuclear fuel obtained from nuclear fission reactors, in the case when its operation is carried out at an energy of 10 MeV. The photon fission reaction leads to the photodisintegration of such typical by-products of spent nuclear fuel, such as cesium-137 (Cs) and strontium-90 (Sr), by means of the (n, γ) reaction, which results in short-lived or stable reaction products. The search was published on 2002.06.13.
