Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A METHOD FOR UTILIZING THE ENERGY OF THE FISSION FRAGMENTS FROM NUCLEAR FISSION OF FISSIONABLE MATERIAL FOR THE CONDUCT OF CHEMICAL CONVERSION OF FLUID REACTANTS TO FLUID PRODUCTS OF DIFFERENT COMPOSITION, WHICH CONVERSIONS REQUIRE SUPPLY OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF ENERGY, WHICH METHOD COMPRISES: CONTACTING FLUID REACTANT FEED MATERIAL IN A CONFINED ZONE WITH A MASS OF CONTACT MATERIAL MADE UP OF AT LEAST ONE BODY COMPRISED OF AN INNER PORTION CONTAINING FISSIONABLE MATERIAL AND A POROUS OUTER SHELL PORTION WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF FISSIONABLE MATERIAL, SAID SHELL PORTION BEING OF SUFFICIENT THICKNESS TO SUBSTANTIALLY PREVENT INITIAL ESCAPE OF NORMALLY SOLID FRAGMENTS OF FISSION THERETHROUGH TO THE EXTERIOR SURFACE THEREOF AND HAVING POROSITY CHACTERISTIC ADAPTED TO PERMIT ESCAPE OF GASEOUS FISSION PRODUCTS AND TO PERMIT INGRESS AND EGRESS OF FLUID REACTANT, MAINTAINING A NEUTRON FLUX IN SAID CONTACT MATERIAL SUITABLY CONTROLLED TO CAUSE FISSION OF SAID FISIONABLE MATERIAL AT A RATE SUFFCIENT TO SUPPLY THE ENERGY REQUIRED FOR EFFECTING THE CHEMICAL CONVERSION OF SAID FLUID REACTANT FEED TO DESIRED PRODUCTS AND SEPARATING FLUID PRODUCTS OF SAID CONVERSION FROM CONTACT MATERIAL.
