Process for the fabrication of thermonuclear fuel pellets and the product thereof

摘要: In processes utilizing a source of laser energy for achieving thermonuclear fusion reaction, it is necessary to have fuel prepared in configuration with minute dimensions and the present invention contemplates preparing this by introducing into hollow microspheres (typically comprised glass) predetermined size, range 250 2,000 micrometers, gaseous fuel. One way accomplishing cause diffusion through walls microsphere under conditions suitable temperature pressure so that may be achieved reasonable time, after which can frozen out on provide spherical shape. Suitable coatings additional materials applied fueled appropriate coating methods complete complex pellet configurations.
