Status of Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction and its Future Prospect
Lecture summary:
The research status and future prospects of the nuclear reaction expressed by the interaction between nanoscale metals and hydrogen, which is called the condensed matter nuclear reaction, will be described.Although the phenomenon of condensed nuclear reactions has not been completely elucidated even now, it is expected to be applied to clean new energy sources that do not emit radioactivity or carbon dioxide and innovative radioactive element treatment technologies. If realized, the socio-economic impact will be enormous.There is a high possibility that a new academic field will be opened up by the fusion of nuclear physics and condensed matter physics, which was never assumed academically.

Participation: <Tokyo> 19 people (PE 16 people, PEN 2 people, FE 1 person)

On February 2, CPD23 Kanto (2018th CPD Seminar) was held at the venue in Kanda, Tokyo.

Yasuhiro Iwamura, a specially appointed professor at Tohoku University, gave a lecture entitled "Current Status and Future Prospects of Condensed Nuclear Reaction Research".

The Condensed Matter Nuclear Reaction, which is different from the commonly known nuclear fission and fusion, is a nanoscale metal that has been studied since the cold fusion announced in 1989. It is a nuclear reaction that occurs due to the interaction of hydrogen, and is also called Low Energy Nuclear Reactions.

Although the phenomenon has not been completely elucidated even now, it is expected to be applied to clean new energy sources that do not emit radioactivity or carbon dioxide and innovative radioactive element treatment technology, and it will be gradually produced. Research is exciting in government and academia.

In the research of the national project in which Dr. Iwamura's laboratory also participated and the joint research with companies, we confirmed the excessive heat generation that cannot be explained by the known chemical reaction between metal and hydrogen, and confirmed the energy density generated between the chemical reaction and nuclear fission. I presented it.

In particular, he stated his expectations for Japanese engineers, as engineering knowledge such as process development is indispensable for future technological progress.

If realized, there are great expectations for social contributions such as decontamination of radioactive pollutants from the Fukushima nuclear power plant and distributed power sources, and I hope that future research will progress.
