Title:
IN-SOLID NUCLEAR REACTION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3137548
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To clarify the reaction mechanism of nuclear reaction in cathode electrode.
CONSTITUTION: One side of cathode electrode (palladium) 20 contacts electrolyte solution 8 in an electrolysis cell 7 and the other side of the cathode electrode 20 contacts vacuum atmosphere in a vacuum vessel 21, and the electrolysis cell 7 on the electrolysis solution side, the vacuum vessel 21 on the other side and the cathode electrode 20 are closed airtightly to each other. Inside of the vacuum vessel 21 is kept in vacuum of 10-1Torr or less and a lead cable is fixed to the cathode electrode 20. With this cathode electrode 20 and the counter anode electrode (platinum) 9, electrolysis of the solution 8 is performed. At this moment, in the vacuum vessel 21, a nuclear product detector, for example a charged particle detector 17 and an X-ray detector 18 is placed and thus, charged particle non-penetrating in the electrolysis solution 8 and X-ray are detected with this nuclear product detector. To the electrolysis solution side surface and the vacuum side surface of the cathode electrode 20, terminals 11, 14 of a 4-terminal surface resistance meter are placed. The surface resistance of this cathode electrode is measured and the filling factor of heavy hydrogen (D) or light hydrogen (H) in the cathode electrode 20 is evaluated.
