conceptual inventions into practice in short span of time garnering details enveloping the past practice, including the safety analysis etc.
The efficient, large fluence, and tunable CAN laser technology [35] (Fig. 5) allows for an efficient real-time feedback control loop for the first time. In typical chemical inducements, we envision that the laser may be either close to cw, or very long pulse so that the fiber laser efficiency and fluence are at its maximum. In order to satisfy the proper resonances or specific frequencies, the fiber laser frequencies need to be tuned (prior to the operation, most likely) to the specific values.
VII. Transmutation characteristics
Our design of the transmutation process is based on and takes advantage of the following features:
(1) For fast neutrons (such as the neutrons from the DT fusion reactions > 10MeV) the cross sections of the fission of TRUs are far greater ( > 100) than the competing neutron processes such as neutron absorption, (n, gamma) process, etc. In the case of curium, the fission cross section is larger than the neutron capture cross section over the entire neutron energy range.
(2) For TRUs the neutron reactions are thus mostly fission or neutron absorption (which transmute to one atomic unit heavier same transuranium element). Thus we need not separate TRU isotopes. The fast neutron irradiation eventually transmutes them into fission products by transmutation. However, the presence (or created) fission products, though they have typically smaller cross sections of absorption of neutrons than the TRUs, may begin to exert its presence as neutron sink, if they are not removed from the solution at all.
(3) The radially outermost tank is reserved for the transmutation of the fission products (FP). Such FP are coming either from the tanks filled with fissioning TRUor from spent fuel from
