  • Patent number: 11158431
    Abstract: Device for producing energy by nuclear fission, and methods of using same. The device comprises a core container of a core container material, which core container encloses an inner tubing of an inner tubing material. The inner tubing and/or the core container has(have) an inlet and an outlet. The device also comprises a molten fuel salt with a fissionable material and a molten moderator salt comprising metal hydroxide(s), metal deuteroxide(s) or a combination thereof and a redox-element having a reduction potential, which is larger than that of the inner tubing material or of the inner tubing material and the core container material. The molten moderator salt is located in the core container, and the molten fuel salt is located in the inner tubing. Alternatively, the molten fuel salt is located in the core container, and the molten moderator salt is located in the inner tubing.
