Dear Sir, Recently I wrote to you concerning muon catalyzed fusion at the core of a fast neutron fission reactor. The efficiency of such a reactor can further be improved by applying the Actinide material in the form of semi-conductor diodes, such that fission fragments free electrons which are

In reply to grok's message of Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:59:36 -0700: Hi, [snip] I always knew there was a way to burn up all that fission waste product (million-year storage my hairy ass...) What about all the containment vessels and tubing and equipment damaged by neutron bombardment? That's some huge

Dear Sir, If you replace the Tokamak hot fusion part of your concept reactor with a muon catalyzed fusion reactor, the whole becomes far more compact and cooler. It takes about 1 GeV on average to create a negative muon. Each such muon can catalyze about 100 D-T reactions, producing 100 14 MeV
