Abstract:
1. A fission power generator, comprising: a sub-critical core, and a plurality of proton beam generators, each of the proton beam generators configured to concurrently provide a proton beam into a different area of the sub-critical core; wherein each proton beam scatters neutrons within the sub-critical core, and the plurality of proton beam generators provide aggregate power to the sub-critical core, via the proton beams, to scatter neutrons sufficient to initiate fission in the sub-critical core; wherein the proton beam generators are isochronous cyclotrons, each of the cyclotrons comprising folded radio frequency cavities each cavity comprising a horizontal lobe disposed above a proton beam aperture and a horizontal lobe disposed below the proton beam aperture, wherein each lobe extends lengthwise along an orbital plane of the cyclotron.
