Electronuclear reactor

Claim 1

IN A ELECTRONUCLEAR REACTOR, THE COMBINATION COMPRISING A SOURCE OF A BEAM OF CHARGED PARTICLES, MEANS DISPOSED TO RECEIVE AND ACCELERATE SAID BEAM TO HIGH ENERGY, A TARGET VESSEL DISPOSED TO RECEIVE THE CHARGED PARTICLE BEAM AS ACCELERATED, A PRIMARY TAGET DISPOSED WITHIN SAID VESSEL TO INTERCEPT SAID BEAM AND OF A MATERIAL WHICH UNDERGOES NUCLEAR REACTIONS WITH THE ACCELERATED CHARGED PAETICLE BEAM WITH AN ATTENDANT PRODUCTION OF HIGH ENERGY NEUTRONS, A SECONDARY TARGET MOUNTED EXTERIORLY OF SAID VESSEL IN PARALLEL SPACED APART RELATION TO SAID PRIMARY TARGET AND OF A MATERIAL WHICH UNDERGOES NUCLEAR REACTIONS IN RESPONSE TO HIGH ENERGY NEUTRON BOMBARDMENT WITH PRODUCTION OF A MULTIPLIED QUANTITY OF LESSER ENERGY NEUTRONS, A NEUTRON ABSORBING LATTICE MOUNTED ABOUT THE PERIPHERY OF SAID TARGET VESSEL AND IN ENCLOSING RELATION TO SAID SECONDARY TARGET, SAID LATTICE INCLUDING A MODERAOTR AND REMOVABLE RODS OF A FERTILE MATERIAL FOR NUCLEAR TRANSFORMATION TO AN ARTIFICIALLY PRODUCED MATERIAL ARRANGED IN A RGULAR GEOMETRIC PATTERN, A NEUTRON REFLECTOR MOUNTED IN ENCLOSING RELATION ABOUT THE PERIPHERY OF SAID LATTICE, AND A NEUTRON PROTECTIVE SHIELD MOUNTED IN ENCLOSING RELATION ABOUT SAID REFLECTOR.
