I seen this on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/LENR/comments/mg26uz/march_2021_us_navy_patent_on_thermiteinduced/
I have it on good authority that Cold Fusion is only 20 years away
What is the consensus opinion on Thorium LFTRs versus nuclear? ie thorium versus plutonium fuel cycles?
The Reddit date for that article is March 2021 but the patent date is from Sept 2019.
I think I’ll save it for later.
I ran across a paper recently on lattice confinement fusion possibly taking place in the core of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, assuming that they have iron/nickel cores and includes deuterium. It was presented as a possible cause of Jupiter radiating more heat than it receives from the sun.
Deuterium fusion, sometimes with involvement of lithium, likely occurs in brown dwarfs, objects that do not have enough mass to start the proton-proton chain of fusion, as what occurs in the Sun. Brown dwarfs are typically below 0.08 solar masses, or between 15 and 80 Jupiter masses.
There has never been a consensus on fission.
Since 3 Mile Island I think there’s only been 3 more nuke plants built.
The safety and disposal concerns have only increased, with the addition of Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters.
Somewhere, Stanley Pons is smiling.

Th²³² absorbs a neutron then beta(-) decays into U-233 which is directly fissile. There are several reactor designs that are “different” than traditional commercial designs...if the NRC ever gets out of the way, we might begin to make up substantial ground with other countries.
Oh jeez. Not this crap again...

Somewhere, Erwin Schrodinger is smiling or frowning.
I think I might have read that article. IIRC the theory has something to do with there being enough pressure to generate metallic hydrogen or even hydrogen-lithium lattice structures. It changes the rules of physics
such that the physics is no longer plasma-based but more condensed-matter based.
His cat is both dead and alive but Heisenberg is still uncertain.
Get lost. Go find some other topic to lay down your seagulls droppings.
On the plus side, we were way ahead of other countries when it came to nuke accidents. 3 mile island came before Chernobyl which came before Fukushima.
TMI is in no way comparable to either of the other two. To even suggest such is rediculous.
A Pycnonuclear reaction in ultra dense condensed matter is a different fusion process in which density is the governing factor of the reaction rate. The crystalline lattice provides an alternative mechanism to reach higher density.
