Abstract:
During the fission process in most of the
presently operating nuclear reactors nuclear
energy is converted into thermal energy and
transferred to common steamcycles for
powergeneration. As part of the fission process
also α-, β- and neutrons particles are released
from the nucleus; the release of gamma-rays is
also a part of the fission process.
In present nuclear reactors α-, β-, neutrons
particles and particularly Gamma-rays are not
gainfully used as a result of the reactor design
and of the containment. These plants are built
as required by present regulations and
international standards for safety.
The inherently safe HTR reactor, by its physics
and design, does not need a special reinforced
containment and it is worth looking into the
possibilities of this design feature to use the
by-products, such as Gamma-rays, from
nuclear fission.
