Re: [Vo]:Dense hydrogen may facilitate water splitting

In fact some of the energy used to heat the primary coolant in the fission Navy
reactors is due to the secondary reaction you have to attributed to Nemo
regarding the JV novel. Most was due to normal heat conduction from fission
reactions within clad fuel elements. The heating in the
water was splitting of water molecules into H and O by gamma rays and hence
recombination of the H and O as Nemo indicated. I think it was less than 10%
of the primary coolant enthalpy increase. More heat entered the coolant from
gamma energy attenuation in internal thermal shields. The total gamma heating
was about a 10% addition as I recall. It varied per each fission depending
upon the on products that happened.
Nemo neglected to reveal the proprietary design aspects of the JV reactor.
Nemo being the Captain did not have a need to know exactly what the basic
energy source was and was clearly ignorant of that information (assuming he was
spreading false news.

Hi Bob,
Minor difference here is that Verne obtained the energy from water, whereas in
your case it comes from Uranium. ;)
Obtaining energy from water could mean either some form of dense hydrogen or
fusion or both.
