Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of a PNE (Peaceful Nuclear Explosion) reactor power station. A nuclear bomb is detonated in an underground containment vessel, the explosion energy is transferred into molten salt to drive a steam turbine to generate electric power.

Fig. 2. Sequence of events in the operation of a PNE (Peaceful Nuclear Explosion) reactor. It is assumed that a 1 kt. explosion occurs every 20 minutes.

t = -2 min: Nuclear explosive is lower into place. Hatch is sealed.
t = -10 s: molten salt jets are turned on
t = 0: explosive detonated (1 kt every 20 min). Droplets stop neutrons and radia
tion, and attenuate shockwaves. Evaporation absorbs energy. Cavity is pressurize
d.
t = 0.1 s: Heat from vaper cloud (fireball) is transferred to droplets. Temperature and pressure drop to 1500 K and 1 atm in 0.1 s. Jets continue to cool vapor.
Molten salt is pumped to heat exchanger.
t = 0.1 s to 18 min: Tritium and other gases are pumped away. Heat from molten s
alt continues to generate steam for electricity.
t = 18 min: Nuclear explosive is lower into place.
