ABSTRACT:
A reaction chamber (20) is charged with a reactant metal (18) which is heated to a molten state by a suitable heating arrangement (21). A field generating arrangement (17) generates a unidirectional electromagnetic field through the molten reactant metal (18) and through at least one target area preferably within the molten reactant metal. The electromagnetic field directs beta particles toward the first target area. A radiation absorbing module (15, 16) is positioned in the first target area and includes at least one radiation absorbing material (75, 76). The radiation absorbing material (75, 76) in the modules (15, 16) absorb the beta radiation which has been directed to the target area by the electromagnetic field.
