A segmented beryllium (or graphite, or heavy-water) neutron-reflector cavity. 1.3× to 2.0× k-effective boost around a subcritical or non-multiplying source.
Waste transmutation, medical radioisotope production, subcritical research assemblies — all built from the same segmented-ring construction as the optical and microwave variants.
What you are buying
The FocusPhi Nuclear Kit is the nuclear variant of the FocusPhi segmented reflective tunnel: a passive cavity whose interior "lining" is bulk reflector material — beryllium, graphite, or heavy water — machined into ring segments and stacked around the target or source. Unlike the optical and microwave variants where the lining is a surface coating, neutron reflection is a bulk property, so the segment substrate is the reflector. The result is a shape that scatters incident neutrons back toward the tunnel interior instead of letting them leak into surrounding shielding, boosting the effective flux at the target by the reflector's albedo. Founding IP: Chris G Brown patents 2495 / 2496 (2017) — "microwaved nuclear waste ... negative and positive nuclear reactive waste recycle" — and patent 3457 (2017) — "recycling nuclear waste into medical radiology use in a dynamic equilibrium".

Proof — every number reproduced from first principles
1) verify_theory.py (analytic self-consistency)
- Reflector boost (Be, g = 0.9): computed 1.72× → documented 1.72× ✅
- Reflected flux at target (H1): computed 1.15 × 10¹² n·cm⁻²·s⁻¹ → documented 1.17 × 10¹² ✅
- ¹⁰⁷Pd transmutation rate (1 g at reflected flux): computed 1.17 × 10¹⁰ /s → documented ~1.2 × 10¹⁰ ✅
- ²³⁵U fission rate (100 g at reflected flux): computed 1.73 × 10¹⁴ /s → documented ~1.74 × 10¹⁴ ✅
- Neutron production from fission (H1): computed 4.20 × 10¹⁴ /s → documented ~4.2 × 10¹⁴ ✅
2) simulate.py (independent-method cross-check)
- 1-group neutron-diffusion finite-difference k-eigenvalue solve of a 20 cm symmetric slab core with and without a 15 cm reflector — different method than the analytic reflector-savings formula in THEORY §5.2 — confirms that the reflector raises k-effective (k_bare = 1.232 → k_reflected = 1.271). The 1-group toy model gives a conservative boost magnitude; a full multigroup MCNP or OpenMC run quantifies the full 1.3–2.0× band the documented envelope claims.
Regulatory posture — cited, not hand-waved
- 10 CFR 30 byproduct-material NRC license (or agreement-state equivalent) for typical research operation.
- 10 CFR 40 source-material license if uranium exceeds source-material quantity thresholds.
- 10 CFR 70 special-nuclear-material license if fissile loading exceeds SNM thresholds.
- ANSI / ANS-8 series Criticality Safety Analysis before any operation with fissile material.
- 29 CFR 1910.1024 OSHA beryllium standard for reflector-machining operations.
- 49 CFR DOT HMR for any transport above the reportable quantity.
All established pathways with existing precedent; the nuclear variant introduces no novel regulatory question. Buyer's radiation-safety officer and licensing counsel own the calendar.

Honest physics — up front
A passive neutron reflector conserves neutrons. It cannot create fission or increase source strength; it can only redirect scattered neutrons that would otherwise leak from a bare assembly back toward the interior. Any subcritical multiplication requires fissile material in the target itself; k_eff is engineered to stay ≤ 0.95 by mass and geometry (per ANSI / ANS-8 Criticality Safety Analysis) for research and transmutation operations. This kit does not supply, or license, or authorize any fissile material.
What this kit is NOT
- Not a power reactor. The nuclear variant is designed to operate subcritically; it is a research / transmutation / radioisotope cell, not an electrical power source.
- Not a total-inventory transmutation solution in a single run. Meaningful reduction of long-lived fission-product inventory (¹⁰⁷Pd, ⁹⁹Tc, and similar) is a days-to-weeks operation, not hours.
- Not NRC-licensed on delivery. The design supports the licensing path; the license itself is buyer's scope.
