Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A METHOD OF PRODUCING ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM HEAT DERIVED FROM ATOMIC NUCLEAR REACTIONS, WHICH INCLUDES THE STEPS OF: CIRCULATING STEAM THROUGH A NUCLEAR REACTOR, DISSOCIATING SAID STEAM IN SAID REACTOR BY THE HEAT FREED AT HIGH TEMPERATURE IN SAID REACTOR, SEPARATING THE DISSOCIATED COMPONENTS OF SAID STEAM, COOLING THE THUS SEPARATED COMPONENTS, CONVERTING THE POTENTIAL ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY OF SAID DISSOCIATED COMPONENTS DIRECTLY INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY BY MEANS OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL FUEL CELL, AND FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE SAID COMPONENTS THROUGH SAID ELECTROCHEMICAL FUEL CELL, AFFECTING A RECUPERATIVE WORKING BY THE HEAT FREED DURING THE COOLING OFF OF THE SEPARATED COMPONENTS.
