Reaching high fusion gain with grams of spin-polarized fuel
J. F. Parisi
Building on recent ignition-access work of Delgado-Aparicio, Ono, and Menard, we show that even a single-use, gram-scale quantity of spin-polarized fuel (SPF) is useful for increas…
Scalable Terbium-149 Production from Highly Enriched Gadolinium-150 Targets
J. F. Parisi, A. Rutkowski
We propose a two-stage production method to overcome existing supply-constraints for the alpha-emitter Tb, a promising candidate for Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT)…
Scalable Production of Lead-212 and Actinium-225 Generators with Fusion Neutrons
J. F. Parisi, A. Rutkowski
Targeted alpha therapy will require a large expansion of Pb and Ac production. We propose neutron- and photon-driven routes that convert Th, ${}^{231}…
Scalable production of nuclear battery alpha emitters using fusion neutrons
J. F. Parisi
Nuclear batteries powered by alpha decay have been deployed successfully for over 60 years, on a worldwide Pu supply of kilograms per year. We show that the 14 MeV neutrons…
Enhanced alpha channeling with spin-polarized fuel
J. F. Parisi, A. Diallo, J. W. S. Cook
The nuclear spin state of deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel sets both the D-T fusion cross section and the emission direction of the fusion-born alphas and neutrons. We show two ways th…
Self-subsidizing Mercury Remediation with Fusion Reactors
J. F. Parisi, J. Azad
Fusion reactors can permanently remediate mercury by using it as a neutron multiplier: each (n,2n) reaction reduces the neutron number towards Hg which quickly decays int…
