Abstract

A method and apparatus for driving nuclear reactions in a controlled manner within a spherical cavitation nuclear reactor or CNR is provided. The CNR includes one or more integral extensions which, in combination with one or more cooled driver assemblies, are used to couple acoustic energy into the reactor. Preferably each of the driver assemblies also utilizes an acoustic wave guide and an acoustic balancing mass to improve the driver's performance characteristics. The CNR is contained within a high pressure enclosure which is fabricated from a material capable of withstanding the desired reactor operating temperature. Preferably the high pressure enclosure is encased in one or more layers of thermal insulation, followed by an outer enclosure. Coolant, fed through one or more nozzles, impinge upon the outer surface of the reactor thereby providing reactor cooling as well as a means of generating a high pressure fluid such as vapor or steam. The high pressure fluid is, in turn, coupled to an energy conversion system such as a steam turbine, heater radiator, steam piston motor, or other heat exchanger.
