Abstract: Advances in creating carbon-free emissions continue with nuclear power. This invention aims to achieve an environment with less radioactive pollution from pebble bed reactors. This invention uses stainless steel, niobium, or ferroniobium which does not form dust like carbon pebbles. The pebble bed reactor coolant will pass over the coated pebbles and not pick up radioactive dust as in old pebble models. This new design is more complicated and costs more than current designs. However, the cleanup of a used pebble bed reactor will be far less, and the health of the workers will be greatly improved through use of this invention. This practical design will enable pebble bed reactors to become approved at a faster rate than old designs.

Abstract: The pursuit to achieve and maintain net electricity from nuclear fusion devices continues. This invention explores a new method to make this achievement. This advanced nuclear fusion reactor will produce heat continuously and will also be constantly cooled by running water. The plasma temperature of this nuclear fusion reactor will be at least 100,000 Kelvin and no greater than 10,000,000 Kelvin. New hypotheses of physics will point out that electricity from the steam turbine engine will be greater than the energy required to maintain the magnetic confinement. This fusion reactor has a lower temperature and lower magnetic field than many modern fusion reactors but uses new technology to produce more fusion reactions and heat than fusion reactors which use similar temperature and magnetic field strengths. New ideas and new technology should be welcome in a time when global warming evidence is becoming more evident.

Abstract: In general, the patent herein is a radioactive chemical which attaches to the virus and releases radiation which kills the virus. Specifically, the chemical is an alpha-ketoamide designed to attach to the virus. However, instead of 2 bromine atoms, Iodine-131 is at the location of where the bromine atoms would have been. Iodine-131 is a radioactive element which releases ionizing radiation. The virus with which this radioactive chemical is designed for is the COVID-19 coronavirus, although the patent is for any virus. Since, modifications can be made in chemical structure and radioactive chemical species, the patent is for any and all chemicals which contain any type of radioactive element to kill or disrupt any type of virus.
