Abstract

Cavitation nuclear reactors generally have a reaction chamber within which the cavitation nuclear reactions take place. Cavitation nuclear reactions are driven by acoustic energy. In order to generate the necessary acoustic energy, drivers are connected to the reaction chamber. This new and improved system utilizes two independent circuits to increase the efficiency of the cavitationn nuclear reactors. One circuit serves to remove the energy from the interior of the reaction chamber at as high a temperature as possible. The other circuit acts to cool downs the drivers so as to allow the drivers to operate within the optimal operating temperature range.
