150 Operating Characteristics of a Sub-Core Planetary Reactor
Computers, Science, Tech | Registration opens 8/4/26 9:00 AM EDT
There are several phenomena on the surface of the Earth that indicate the existence of a sub-core planetary reactor. The most obvious indication is the wide variance in the light element isotope distribution (hydrogen through boron), especially helium, in the Earth’s crust and from deep wells. This presentation discusses the evidence for the existence, the formation, the operation, and other operational characteristics inherent in a sub-core reactor.
