Production of spin polarized fusion fuels

Description

The patent describes a method and apparatus for producing spin-polarized thermonuclear fuels HD, D2, HT and DT in a state where they can be stored and manipulated for appreciable times at ordinary liquid helium temperatures. Thermonuclear fuels containing spin polarized hydrogen isotopes are suitable for use in most presently known fuel injection techniques used in a temperature range greater than 10K. The production of solid ↑ H ↑ D [ ↑ polarized nucleus] is described. The novel application of this method for polarizing thermonuclear fuels (including HD, D2, HT and DT) is also given. (U.K.)
