83. Fission, Fusion, Helium 3, Nuclear, Energy, Free Energy, Alternate Energy, Elect This short Treatise explores lithium fission as a possible source of clean nuclear energy. http://www.nuenergy.org/alt/IsoLithium.htm

Clean Nuclear Energy via Isotopic Transformation The First Artificial Accelerated Decay Transformation On April 28, 1932, at a meeting of the Royal Society, Lord Rutherford announced that two of the workers in Cavendish Laboratory, J. D. Cockcroft and E. T. S. Walton, had successfully demonstrated the release of excess radioactive energy from lithium elements and other light elements by protons entirely artificially generated by high electric potentials. The most surprising feature at the time was the relatively low voltage necessary. The generator installed had a peak voltage of about 750,000 volts, but artificial decay started at only one-sixth of this, 125,000 volts. Indeed, later Rutherford, using deuterons (atoms of the hydrogen isotope of mass 2) instead of protons, pushed back the starting point to some 20,000 to 40,000 volts, which is well within the range of quite a small x-ray induction coil. The protons were generated in a long vertical hydrogen vacuum-tube, specially designed to withstand the high voltage, and with a window of the thinnest possible mica leaf at the end, through which they emerged to impinge on the target element being bombarded. The protons were estimated to have a velocity of one-thirtieth of that of light, and their range in air was only 1 cm. The bombarded substance was examined by the scintillations produced in

FUSION: THE ENERGY OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY The impact of fusion Controlled thermonuclear fusion is one of the few energy supply options capable of supplying energy on a large scale for the twenty-first century. According to recent estimates, the world population will grow to around 10 billion about halfway through the next century. In 1990, the primary energy consumption per head per year in the industrial countries was about 2.2 x 10 Joules, or 5.1 t.p.e. (tonnes of petrol equivalent) and about 10 times less in the developing countries. Depending on the scenario for the evolution of the world energy demand, the primary world energy consumption might increase by a factor of two or three by the year 2050. The energy sources having a capability of covering a substantial share of the energetic needs are the following: Fossil fuels: basically carbon, seeing as how the petrol and gas reserves will have diminished considerably in the next century. Nuclear energy: fission and fusion. Renewable energy: hidro-electric energy, solar, wind, wave, geothermal, biomass energy, etc ... The fossil fuels have a strong environmental impact; they create problems like acid rain and an increase of CO

Salvetti R.A. Ricci E. Sindoni Included in series Enrico Fermi International School of Physics, 116 Description This book reinvestigates and analyses, in various aspects and details, the scientific basis of an up-to-date 'nuclear culture' and presents the basic and outstanding problems of this field, with its important technical and social applications and consequences. The contributions are presented by leading experts in this area and the fundamental approaches related to nuclear fission and fusion have been considered and covered. In the light of public opinion regarding nuclear energy as a whole, after the Chernobyl accident, the various items, including safety and ecological problems, are treated beyond the political and social misunderstandings due to ideological and fashionable interferences. The resulting collection of papers therefore satisfy the double need of maintaining a high scientific standard and of presenting the data and the facts in such a way that they can be understood, in their essential aspects, by a more general audience.

A joint statement issued by US President George W Bush and visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Washington on Tuesday said the US would now "work with friends and allies to adjust international regimes to enable full civil nuclear energy and trade with India". Essentially, this means that Washington has now accepted India as a nuclear weapons-state, although it is euphemistically referred to as "a state with advanced nuclear technology".

In addition, three universities are involved: Helsinki University of Technology (fusion physics and remote handling systems), Tampere University of Technology , (remote handling systems) and Helsinki University, Accelerator Laboratory There are three research areas in the FFUSION Programme: Fusion physics and plasma engineering Fusion reactor materials research Remote handling systems for fusion reactor maintenance In fusion physics and plasma engineering, the emphasis is on the interactions of intense electromagnetic radiation with fusion plasmas in plasma heating and diagnostics. Problems involving fusion reactor materials and remote handling systems are key issues in the design of future fusion reactors. Joint projects in the field of special materials, superconductors, coatings, joining techniques and remote handling have been initiated with universities, research institutes and companies. Fusion Physics and Plasma Engineering The main issues in the controlled fusion research are plasma confinement and heating. In tokamaks, a hot plasma is confined and isolated by strong magnetic fields which prevent the cooling of the fusion plasma. Radio-frequency (rf) heating is used in many present fusion devices and it is one of the proposed heating methods for ITER. The rf-power is coupled to the plasma via an antenna or grill structure and the wave propagation and later absorption deposit the heating power well inside the plasma.

Your best source for cold fusion news and information WWW New Energy Times HOME NEWS CONFERENCES CONVERSATIONS ... ABOUT Cold Fusion Frequently Asked Questions (For nonscientists) Revised: June 20, 2005 What is cold fusion and how does it work? Cold fusion is clean nuclear energy. Cold fusion is a scientific discovery that may be the answer to the world's energy problems. Cold fusion is a nuclear reaction that generates energy, primarily in the form of heat, without harmful radiation, nuclear waste or greenhouse gasses. It uses hydrogen, from a variety of compounds, as its fuel source. Cold fusion can occur at, or near, ordinary room temperature. Initially, the word "cold" served as an effective way to distinguish this research from large thermonuclear "hot" fusion experiments. Hot fusion experiments required multimillion-degree temperatures to operate. However, scientists never succeeded in making any net energy from hot fusion. The term "cold" was never ideal to describe cold fusion because the significant factors of cold fusion are its benign byproducts. These byproducts distinguish cold fusion from a variety of hot fusion experiments that also can run at room temperature, but these hot fusion experiments have limited applications. Cold fusion often uses a special form of hydrogen, called deuterium, which comes from plain water. One in every 6,000 water molecules contains deuterium. When the center parts of two deuterium atoms, the nuclei, come close enough, they fuse. When this happens, they combine to make helium and a large amount of heat. Theoretically, fusion of hydrogen can generate 8 million times more energy than the same amount of hydrogen if it were burned in a chemical reaction.

Although fusion for practical purposes is still just a fantasy, steps are under way to build the world's first experimental fusion reactor. The question is, where? France and Japan both want to host the reactor, and have been wrangling for over a year. But now they have decided to take a definite decision, so that the program can move ahead. However, some environmentalists doubt the true benefits of fusion.

A COORDINATED WALL ST. ASSAULT Who Killed U.S. Nuclear Power? by Marsha Freeman From the Spring 2001 issue of (full text). Washington Public Power Suppy System By 1967, through the momentum of the lunar landing program and its high-technology economic expansion, the AEC again upped its projections, this time to 145 GW of nuclear capacity by the year 1980. Engineers in the industry, looking farther ahead, expected 2,000 GW nuclear by the year 2000. Now, in 2001, there are only 103 nuclear plants in operation in the United States. More than that number have been cancelled. The collapse in orders, and cancellations, have left the U.S. nuclear industry in such a state of contraction, that today it could not even build a new nuclear reactor, were one to be ordered. The pressure vessel would have to be imported, because there is no U.S. firm capable of fabricating one. There are many myths about who killed nuclear power in this country. Blame is put on the accident at Three Mile Island in 1979, which certainly added to the attacks on the industry, but was not a decisive factor. Blame is put on the American public, which supposedly became anti-nuclear (although, except for a small vocal minority, this has never been the case). The claim is made that nuclear is inherently just too expensive to use, but, in fact, it was a coordinated assault by Wall Street and its foot soldiers in the environmentalist movement that drove the costs up. If we do not understand how we got to where we are, we will never be able to change the situation.
