ABSTRACT:
A direct nuclear radiation pumped laser consisting essentially of a uranyl salt with a UO.sub.2.sup.++ uranyl ion enriched in the U.sup.235 isotope sufficient to sustain a fission chain reaction, the uranyl ion being directly nuclear radiation pumped by a fission power transient of the core to produce laser action between a low-lying vibrational level of the first triplet electronic state and an upper vibrational level of the singlet ground state.
