EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 Thermal nuclear power cannot effectively replace oil, natural gas and coal. The need for a radical

breakthrough in rethinking fissile nuclear power is universally acknowledged. This paper presents

just such a breakthrough. In order to reach a viable fusion economy we must master a viable fission

economy first to successfully transition off hydrocarbon fuels. I propose moving fissile interactions

closer to the actual generation of electricity, cutting out the thermal cycle entirely. I further propose

retiring the single-through-put fuel cycle in favor of a design that makes use of the nearly 560 times

the conventionally usable naturally-occurring fissile nuclear materials, opening the way to full

utilization of the remaining now unusable fissile nuclear materials.

 This can be done safely with a design that is intrinsically unweaponizable. My idea is to generate

electricity without burning nuclear fuels to boil water into steam and turn turbine electricity generators.

Instead, I propose generating the electricity directly from a rotating spherical core with entrained

stable and nuclear elements. Naturally, the question is how can this be accomplished?

Look to the oldest example sitting right below our feet. The earth has been generating and

maintaining its magnetic field for at least 4 billion years. If there is an athermal alternative to the well-

established thermal model this would be the place to look for it. Magnetohydrodynamics is a fancy 

 word for the magnetized hot fluid rocks of the earth’s interior. It is in complex motion. Somehow 

it’s generating the earth’s magnetic field but we don’t currently know how. I’m convinced I have

figured it out; perhaps not entirely, but substantially enough to make a key insight into the solution.

My hypothesis is that the nuclear interactions themselves are directly producing the earth’s

magnetic field, due to the rotation and motions of the planet. This is derived from a key insight

Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann made in 1957 that each nuclear interaction also produces a

spontaneous tiny magnetic field which, until now, we’ve overlooked. The earth’s interior is filled

 with nuclear materials that work in a manner similar to leavening in bread, illustratively speaking. The iron and silicates comprise most of the flour in the bread. The nuclear materials comprise the

yeast and the entrained composition could be said to be similar to bread. It is the interaction of both

the iron and silicates and the nuclear materials that gives rise to the earth’s magnetic field. If we

miniaturize this model, then we can construct a dynamic core that mimics what the earth is doing 

naturally, and we can harvest electricity from the magnetic field surrounding the dynamic core.

 This paper explains in detail my hypothesis and proposal, and it draws from a number of distinct

scientific disciplines. Any misrepresentation of standard scientific nomenclature in specific sub-

disciplines is unintentional. Look past them to the possibilities that are proposed. Development of 

this technology will make investment in a National SuperGrid®, not only viable, but a practical

necessity to the United States’ future domestic and international interests. Not to mention the massive

employment opportunity this would promote. More work and experimentation is needed, but this

proposal constitutes radically new thinking towards an alternative approach to nuclear energy, and a

huge step forward in reconceptualizing and resolving our current energy and economic crises.

Here is a preliminary scenario for proceeding to test and develop this project:

1)   Test and verify my hypothesis about earth’s magnetic field.

2)   Test and verify nuclear dynamic core concept.

3)  Make a mechanical test-prototype dynamic core.

4)  Make a nuclear test-prototype dynamic core.

5)  Full integration nuclear test-prototype dynamic core and electricity generation

operating regimes.

6)  Safety test-prototype of commercial/industrial applications and governmental

oversight certification.

7)  Production fabrication, certification, and deployment for commercial/industrial

grid application.
