Abstract

A method and apparatus for driving nuclear reactions in a controlled manner within a shaped cavitation nuclear reactor or CNR is provided. The shape of the CNR is generally cylindrical, with the central region of the reactor having a substantially smaller diameter than either end portion. Due to this shape, the central reactor region undergoes enhanced cavitation with numerous reaction sites being in close proximity to the surface of the reactor's central region. As a result, the shaped reactor configuration is well suited for use as a photon/particle source. Attached to either end of the CNR is a driver assembly, the driver assemblies being used to couple acoustic energy into the reactor. The CNR may be contained within a high pressure enclosure fabricated from a material capable of withstanding the high reactor operating temperatures. 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. The reactor system may include one or more static stress amplitude modulators which provide a means of simultaneously applying a static force with the dynamic forces applied by the drivers.
