Abstract
The invention relates to a method for eliminating neutrons from fission, fusion or aneutronic nuclear reactions in a reactor (100), in particular in a laser-driven nuclear fusion reactor (100) which operates with hydrogen and the boron-11 isotope, in which method at least some moderated neutrons are made to undergo a nuclear reaction with tin (11). As a result of the nuclear reactions with tin, the neutrons convert the tin nuclei into stable nuclei having a higher atomic weight resulting from neutron capture. The invention also relates to a reactor (100) which is designed for energy conversion by means of fission, fusion or aneutronic nuclear reactions and for generating electric energy, wherein the reactor contains a neutron elimination device (50) which contains tin and is arranged such that at least some moderated neutrons are made to undergo a nuclear reaction with the tin.
