The assembly to break down or melt nuclei has a system to recover energy from the electrons. An electrode (1) is within a hollow body (7) with insulation (8) against it, connected to the plus pole of a voltage supply (2). The minus pole is earthed (8). The electrode tip carries material (3) heated by a laser beam (11), within a protective radioactive shrouding tube (4), to release the electrons as the material is heated and converted into energy. The electrons are taken off through the voltage supply. An inert gas from an inflow (6) passes through openings (10) in the shrouding tube. |
