Deep-Earth reactor: nuclear fission, helium, and the geomagnetic field.
Geomagnetic field reversals and changes in intensity are understandable from an energy standpoint as natural consequences of intermittent and/or variable nuclear fission chain reactions deep within the Earth. Moreover, deep-Earth production of helium, having (3)He/(4)He ratios within the range observed from deep-mantle sources, is demonstrated to be a consequence of nuclear fission. Numerical s...
متن کاملNuclear reactor at the core of the Earth! – A solution to the riddles of relative abundances of helium isotopes and geomagnetic field variability
The quest for the origin and understanding relative abundances of 3 He and 4 He isotopes and the origin and cause for variability of geomagnetic field has been a continuing activity. Helium gas is attributed to primordial origin or to radioactive decay of various unstable isotopes. The geomagnetic field attributed to a geo-dynamo is observed to show variability and also reversibility in its sig...
متن کاملDetecting a Nuclear Fission Reactor at the Center of the Earth
A natural nuclear fission reactor with a power output of 3-to 10 Terawatt at the center of the earth has been proposed as the energy source of the earth’s magnetic field. The proposal can be directly tested by a massive liquid scintillation detector that can detect the signature spectrum of antineutrinos from the geo-reactor as well as the direction of the antineutrino source. Such detectors ar...
متن کاملTerracentric nuclear fission georeactor: background, basis, feasibility, structure, evidence and geophysical implications
The background, basis, feasibility, structure, evidence and geophysical implications of a naturally occurring Terracentric nuclear fission georeactor are reviewed. For a nuclear fission reactor to exist at the centre of the Earth, all of the following conditions must be met: (1) There must originally have been a substantial quantity of uranium within Earth’s core. (2) There must be a natural me...
متن کاملThe effect of earth magnetic field on the function of nuclear medicine imaging systems (SPECT)
Background: The nuclear medicine systems are very sensitive to the variation of the magnetic field. Photomultiplier tubes amplify low energy light signal and change it into electrical current. Low magnetic field can produce some variations in uniformity and special resolution of SPECT systems. In this study, we tried to evaluate the effects of magnetic field on the function of nuclear medic...
