He3 FUSION REACTORSAlpha particles from Uranium naturally decay to - Helium Gas
He3 is indifferent than He4
Apparently.... Uranium's alpha + beta rays can produce - Helium.
FUSION FUEL
The most energetic reaction is deuterium + helium-3 ( D-He3 )
1 tonne of He-3 can produce 10,000 MWe-y of electrical energy.
Equivelent to 10 Gigawatts
Perspective ?
1 gigawatt is a massive amount of energy equalling 1000 megawatts.
That is enough to power a medium-sized city. Aug 16, 2018
Uranium naturally decays giving off,
Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Alpha converts to Helium.
A single alpha particle, ejected at high speed from a nucleus, can create up to 100,000 ions along its path before it gains two electrons to become a neutral helium atom.

Helium Fusion Reactors
- no uranium conversion ( cost savings )
- Uranium naturally produces helium
- Safer type of fusion
- Natural uranium could be used for mega duration - breeding years
- bonus 100,000 ions - Alpha particle creates before converting to helium ( free energy )
= Junior could become an energy producer ( think bigger )
= Helium Breeder
Helium Reactor ( cutting technology )
HELION
As the plasma expands, it pushes back on the magnetic field from the machine's magnets. By Faraday's Law, the change in field induces current
= Direct Electricity ( skips steam phase )

This is who BSK should team with. ^ ^
New Helium fusion tech --------------> tied to 140 mile trend of Uranium.
Still waiting for,
- carnotite uranium value / tonnage we already have
- 2 Salar assays ( brines + silts )
- pebbles / rocks - uranium % content ( tonnage + grades ) 2nd deposit with in deposit**
- basement hardrock / granite - uranium % and acknowledgement.
Inspire Grosso into --------> Helium Fusion Sector ?
Aug 23, 2024 — Lithium-6 has a very high neutron cross-section (940 barns) and so readily fissions to yield tritium and helium
