IMHO, it may be possible to enrich U-235 using LENR. But depleted U-238 might be an acceptable fission/LENR fuel. On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 10:00 AM, JonesBeene wrote: > *From: *Axil Axil > > > … The thorium blanket would shield and absorb the muons

From: Axil Axil … The thorium blanket would shield and absorb the muons produced by the LENR reaction and no radioactive byproducts or fissile material would result. As I have posted several times recently in light of Holmlid’s claims – it seems possible to combine fission and LENR in a

My idea about the proper design of the quintessential LENR reactor is based on this type of fission reactor. It has advantages, if only it did not need U-235 to produce the neutrons that make it critical. With U-235 comes U-238 and that means Pu-239 is generated in abundance. This type of reactor
