Super-capacitor-like Structure for Fission-Fusion Direct Nuclear Energy Conversion

Popa-Simil L., LAOS - Los Alamos Academy of Sciences, US

Direct nuclear energy conversion system uses nano-hetero-structures that harvest the nuclear particles energy, charging a structure resembling a super-capacitor, that discharges releasing it as electric energy. The nano-structure design uses heterogeneity, in order to create [...]

Nuclear Reaction Control and Shielding Systems based on Radiation Guiding in Active Nano-Structures

Popa-Simil L., LAOS - Los Alamos Academy of Sciences, US

The actual nuclear reactors are using heavy concrete shielding, in order to reduce the radiation outside the active zone. The main radiation attenuation method is called mass-attenuation, because no matter (with some approximation) what material [...]

Radiation-Damage Robust, Engineered, Self-repairing Meso-Materials

Popa-Simil L., LAOS - Los Alamos Academy of Sciences, US

Nuclear power is one of the most compact, long lasting and might be the most safe and environmentally friendly energy source if it might be done right, by achieving the harmony between the nuclear reactions [...]
