Abstract

discussed.illustrative designs of the device.Some economic considerations are also concepts of the "Energy Amplifier" are presented as well as alternative waste and the risk of nuclear proliferation is negligible.In the paper the basic Uranium, it generates much less transuranic actinides among the radioactive use of thorium presents serious difficulties.Thorium is more abundant than Uranium, in contrast with the full breeding based classic reactors for which the Thoriurn as breeding fuel has considerable advantages when compared with the correct performance of the breeding cycle and' to prevent the risk of criticality.must operate at relatively low neutron flux, in the 10cmsrange, to ensure 14 '2 `] substantial stability, resulting in a stable long term energy production.The device rate between the concentrations of fissile and fertile elements reaches a element from a fertile element of the fuel material.After an initial phase, the disposed in a moderator medium through a process of breeding of a fissile in High Energy Physics.The energy is produced from a nuclear fuel material practical energy production the well known "calorimeter" technique, widely used energy with the help of accelerator induced nuclear cascades, extending to We describe the new concept of energy amplification to extract nuclear
