Abstract

993, 174. Thermonuclear apparatus. LITTON INDUSTRIES Inc. Aug. 10, 1962, No. 30734/62. Heading G6P. In a nuclear fusion reactor a first group of particles is accelerated to predetermine high speeds relative to a second group of particles so that the particles have sufficient energy to fuse upon collision, and the first group of particles is directed to collide with the second group in a collision region, the accelerator being as described in Specification 952,088. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, two plasma accelerators 13, 17 are arranged at opposite ends of an evacuated enclosure 32 to direct plasma masses towards the centre of the enclosure when the masses collide and react. The collision zone is surrounded by graphite 37 which absorbs heat from neutrons emitted by the reaction and from which useful heat can be extracted by a heat exchanger. A coil may surround the collision zone to extract electrical energy from charged particles released by the section. The plasma masses may comprise a deuterium-tritium mixture and the accelerator may be arranged on a common axis or on different axes.
