Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim

IN A PROCESS WHEREIN A LIQUID HYDROCARBON IS CONVERTED BY IRRADIATION WITH NEUTRONS FROM A NUCLEAR REACTOR AT A NEUTRON FLUX ABOVE 1011N/CM.2/SEC. IN THE REACTION ZONE; THE IMPROVED METHOD O F ACCELERATING THE REACTION WHICH COMPRISES ADMIXING WITH THE LIQUID HYDROCARBON UNDERGOING IRRADIATION A SOLUBLE COMPOUND OF BORON DISSOLVED IN A LIQUID CARRIER, SAID BORON CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 19 WEIGHT PERCENT OF THE ISOTOPE BORON 10, THE CONCENTRATION OF THE SAID BORON IN SAID LIQUID HY DROCARBON, BASED ON TOTAL REACTION MIXTURE, BEING IN THE RANGE OF 0.001 TO 1.0 WEIGHT PERCENT AND AT LEAST 10 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY ABSORBED BY SAID LIQUID HYDROCARBON BEING ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE NUCLEAR CONVERSION OF SAID BORON 10.
