Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0139200A2] A liquid based nuclear reactor that includes a reactor which, during operation, includes a liquid material interspersed by a plurality of cavitation bubbles. The liquid based nuclear reactor also includes a frequency source that outputs a frequency, and at least one acoustic driver coupled to the reactor at at least one predetermined location that is coupled to the frequency source and drives acoustic energy into the reactor to drive the cavitation bubbles through cavitation cycles to create nuclear reactions. The nuclear reactor also includes an external liquid processing system that includes a conduit that includes an inlet in fluid communication with the reactor, an outlet in fluid communication with the reactor and a pump therebetween. The pump pumps the liquid material through the liquid processing system with continuous flow.
