Ions are playing a key role in the future fusion reactor.

In an ion-based fusion reactor, the system can shoot ions and anions against each other by using the ion cannons that are shooting ions from different sides. Or the magnetic plates can pull ions and anions together from above and below. Then the system can shoot a laser ray to those ions. Theoretically is possible to create a magnetic field that is powerful enough that it can form a fusion reactor. 

The future fusion reactor can use ions for making fusion. The problem is how to handle the plasma at extremely high temperatures. In those temperatures, the heat of the plasma brakes the entirety. 

Along with monopolar ions will push deuterium and tritium away from each other. The magnetic field pushes those ions together, but the problem is that when the magnetic press ends radiation with magnetic repel will push those particles away from each other. 

The problem is that when fusion starts the energy level in the fusion material that rotates in the reactor will expand. The rising energy in fusion material will win the magnetic field. And that thing rips the ring of the fusion material in pieces. One of the answers could be an injection of the opposite polar ions in the plasma. That thing could help to keep the fusion material in one entirety. 

The problem with fusion reactors is the heat. The system requires billions of degrees of celsius. And if there is a leak in the fusion reactor that plasma can cause big damage around the plant. 

One version that can answer the problem is the fusion reactor that orbits the Earth. The non-gravitational environment makes it easier to handle plasma. And if the reactor is outside the atmosphere. That helps to handle lithium hydride which is the key compound to creating lithium deuteride. Lithium deuteride is one of the most important fuels in the fusion stages of hydrogen bombs. 

The creation of lithium-deuteride is the process where the radiation will turn lithium hydride into lithium deuteride. Then another energy impulse drives those components back together. In fusion weapons, the used lithium isotope is lithium 7. Normally natural lithium is lithium 3. The problem is that lithium hydride is very highly inflammable.

Lithium deuteride (From Wikipedia)

Lithium deuteride, in the form of lithium-7 deuteride (7Li2H or 7LiD), is a good moderator for nuclear reactors, because deuterium (2H or D) has a lower neutron absorption cross-section than ordinary hydrogen or protium (1H) does, and the cross-section for 7Li is also low, decreasing the absorption of neutrons in a reactor. 7Li is preferred for a moderator because it has a lower neutron capture cross-section, and it also forms less tritium (3H or T) under bombardment with neutrons.

The corresponding lithium-6 deuteride (6Li2H or 6LiD) is the primary fusion fuel in thermonuclear weapons. In hydrogen warheads of the Teller–Ulam design, a nuclear fission trigger explodes to heat and compress the lithium-6 deuteride, and to bombard the 6LiD with neutrons to produce tritium in an exothermic reaction:

6LiD + n → 4He + T + D

The deuterium and tritium then fuse to produce helium, one neutron, and 17.59 MeV of free energy in the form of gamma rays, kinetic energy, etc. Helium is an inert byproduct.

Before the Castle Bravo nuclear weapons test in 1954, it was thought that only the less common isotope 6Li would breed tritium when struck with fast neutrons. The Castle Bravo test showed (accidentally) that the more plentiful 7Li also does so under extreme conditions, albeit by an endothermic reaction. (Wikipedia/Lithium Hydride)

But the leak in the orbital reactor causes a situation that plasma with a very high energy level will release into the orbital trajectory. And that plasma will destroy satellites. 

That kind of reactor can answer the problems of heat. But this kind of fusion-based energy satellite is one of the most dangerous things in the world. 

Fusion energy is used for a long time in hydrogen bombs. The orbiting fusion reactor turns into a hydrogen bomb very easily. One of the most dangerous versions of the fusion systems is the thing where lasers will target the subcritical uranium or plutonium plates. Then that energy causes fission in those plates. 

That energy impulse pushes fusion material from both sides. The laser system can use straight sunlight for making the laser ray. The mirror system will conduct sunlight to the laser element. And then the laser will aim at the fusion system. The fact is that increasing the temperature in subcritical fission material is enough. So the launch of the hydrogen bomb can happen by using parabolic mirrors.

More about nano-size nuclear weapons

There is another way to make very effective but small size detonators, and one of the most interesting ideas is for the small-scale version of the systems, what are used in fusion tests. Those systems would act like a small version of the Sci-Fi movie "Star Wars" "Death Star", where the lasers are the circular form around the pipe, what is also used for the lead laser, what would collect other laser-rays together, and carry them to the target. In this scenario, the weapon would shoot lithium batteries thru that pipe, and then the laser-ray would shoot in the same line, where this pellet would fly. That would cause the fusion detonation. But luckily the needed technology is still very far away from practical solutions. There is theoretically possible to miniaturize the systems, what are used in the laser-test facilities in the portable size.


And then the extremely small size fusion weapon could be done. In this case, the technology in that weapon in actually existed, but making it extremely small size would be difficult. When we are thinking about those extremely small size nuclear explosives, they are extremely fascinating option for many military actions. Those weapons can destroy entire warship with one shot. But the problem is, that they are hiding the line between conventional and nuclear weapons. When we are thinking about those very easily moving and many times shooting weapons, what have extremely high firepower, we think that they might be even too devastating.

The laser- or other electromagnetic radiation would raise the temperature of the lithium very high level, and that would be made possible to make very small nuclear explosives. The best way to make that thing just shoots the lithium pellet in the same line as the laser- or other electromagnetic radiation, what would raise the temperature enough high, for making very small fusion explosive.  Those systems are already in use at the fusion test sites like NIF (National Ignition Facility) at Lawrence Livermore national laboratories and many places in Europe. But those systems must be made much smaller if those miniature fusion bombs would be real. And they can cause terrible visions in the mind of humans.

The risks of ultra-clean nuclear weapons

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above the text is a mushroom-shaped cloud, what has been formed by the warm gas bubble, what has been raised from the water. The formation process of this cloud is similar to nuclear explosions. But temperature is lower. Normally nuclear explosives would be noticed by increasing level of radiation. And that would uncover the atmospheric nuclear tests. The nuclear test is prohibited in the atmosphere, undersea an Earth orbiter.


The latest fusion weapons are problematic because they would not leave radioactive fallout behind them. Ignition process of those fusion devices would happen by heating lithium pieces by using high-power laser rays. The laser would raise the temperature high enough for starting fusion reaction in the piece of lithium. Those weapons are so clean, that they would not uncover by the radioactive fallout. The ignition of that system would happen by using carbon monoxide laser, what would power by acetylene light. Those systems are extremely powerful.


Ultra clean nuclear weapons can be launched by internal or external lasers. The laser can be installed on separate aircraft, what would also drop lithium canisters. Those canisters would be equipped with targeting device, and the highly powerful chemical laser can be targeted to those pieces. Same lasers can also use for anti-satellite missions.


Also, the powerful SDI-lasers could use for that purpose. The external lasers can be done easier, because the size of the bomb would not be limit. In some scenario, the lithium canisters would be dropped from satellites, and then they would be heated by using ground-based lasers, what would target to those canisters by using mirror satellites, and those weapons can be very deadly. The used lasers might be free-electron type particle accelerators what can be kilometers long.


The problem with lithium canisters is that they would not seem in radioactive sensors. So they can be installed in the boat, any kind of aircraft and missile. Those weapons are very frightened because they would be used in the terrorist attack. The only thing what the striker needs is the powerful laser, what would make enough heat for the beginning of fusion.
