Abstract

A power generation system comprises: a muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion device configured to undergo muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion; and a nuclear-reactor power generation device configured such that a nuclear fuel therein is irradiated with neutrons generated as a result of muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion in the muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion device, thereby to carry out power generation, wherein a pressurized-water nuclear reaction vessel in the nuclear-reactor power generation device is arranged so as to surround a nuclear fusion reactor core in which muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion occurs via a structural partition separating the muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion device from the nuclear-reactor power generation device.
