<p>The method is for producing energy from a nuclear fuel material contained in an enclosure, through a process of breeding of a fissile element from a fertile element of the fuel material via a β-precursor of said fissile element and fission of the fissile element. A high energy particle beam is directed into the enclosure for interacting with heavy nuclei contained in the enclosure so as to produce high energy neutrons. The neutrons thereby produced are multiplied in sub-critical conditions by the breeding and fission process. Said breeding and fission process is carried out inside the enclosure.</p> |
