Helium 3 and the fusion with military solutions
Helium 3 and nanocrystals are giving the possibility to create a new type of energy source, but also the development of the new type of nuclear weapons is possible if the researchers would get helium 3 in their hands. The difference between helium 3 and tritium is that the last one is the isotope of hydrogen.
The helium 3 can be used in nuclear fusion alone, but if researchers would want to use tritium, they must make fusion along with deuterium. The problems with that thing are the things, where we are returning later in this text.
The tritium has two neutrons and one proton in its nucleus, and helium 3 has two protons and one neutron in its nucleus. But tritium has one electron in the outer layer, which makes it act like hydrogen in chemical processes. That means the last one is very reactive gas. Tritium is planned to use with deuterium what is hydrogen isotope with one neutron and one proton in its nucleus.
One of the most well-known ways to make fusion is to use deuterium and tritium. In this version, the high power laser ray would cause that the nucleus of those isotopes would start to melting to helium, but the thing is that material needs extremely high temperature. The fusion reactor is equipped with high-power magnets, what mission is to keep the fusion material without the touch of the wall of the reactor, what seems little bit donuts, and the magnetic accelerators would rotate and press cave in the extremely hot gas.
The contact with high-temperature plasma and the wall of the reactor would cause the melting the tube, where the plasma travels with extremely high speed, and the magnetic field would press the plasma ring with lasers to 40 million degrees of kelvin. The use of magnetic pressurizer is extremely important because none physical material would stand the heat without vaporizing.
The use of tritium and deuterium in the fusion is a very popular and long known way to create nuclear fusion, but the problem is that deuterium and tritium fusion needs 40 million kelvin degrees temperature. The production of tritium would happen by bombing the lithium-6 or deuterium with neutrons. The thing in the neutron bombing is that there is needed the neutron source, and that means that this process is needed the nuclear reactor, or sharply to say fission reactor.
That thing doesn't decrease the level of radioactive nuclear waste, and the need for fission and highly radioactive waste would also break the development of acting fusion reactor. But if we would think to use tritium in nuclear weapons, the problem is that this radioactive isotope exists only about eleven years. And that makes problems to store that isotope.
So if we would want to replace fission reactors with fusion reactors, we would need some other fuel source than lithium-6 or deuterium. If the nuclear researchers would allow using helium 3, that would make possible to store that isotope in the crystals of plutonium. If in some hydrogen bombs is used the plutonium dust, what would drive together, that will make possible to create nuclear detonators, what power output is very sharply calculated.
The use of plutonium crystals would make bigger contact layer with fission material, and the helium 3 would make the increase of power. That crystal dust can drive together by using the detonators or simply the pressure bottle. Or in some scenarios, the plutonium dust would be equipped with the iron bite, which allows pulling those crystals in one bite, and then that will launch the nuclear fission. Those kinds of things are ever spoken when we are discussing the bringing helium 3 from the Moon to Earth.
