Open technical release of the Cognitive Supernova Generator (CSG) fusion-fission hybrid reactor: OpenMC neutronics model, materials, safety, and Peaceful Use-only license for ocean cleanup, waste transmutation, and humanitarian energy.
🌐 Public repository
The CSG is a compact, 10-meter diameter spherical fusion-fission hybrid reactor designed for peaceful energy production and environmental restoration. Key highlights:
- Deuterium-tritium fusion core providing 14.1 MeV neutrons.
- Subcritical uranium-238 transmutation blanket for waste-to-energy conversion (consumes 6-16 tonnes depleted U-238/year).
- Tritium breeding ratio (TBR) validated at 1.2489 using OpenMC.
- Net electric output: 600-620 MWe at 38-40% efficiency.
- Inherent safety: Negative temperature coefficient (α_tot ≤ -3 pcm/K); no meltdown possible.
- Applications: Powering ocean cleanup vessels (e.g., Ark Perplexity), desalination, climate mitigation, and more.
This repo includes the full OpenMC simulation code, appendices with neutronics/thermal-hydraulics/materials/economics data, safety analysis, and the provisional patent draft. All released under a Peaceful Use-only license to ensure humanitarian and environmental focus.
Inventor: Francis A. Cooper, Journeyman Electrician with 15+ years in hazardous electrical systems (see Resume.pdf for full background).

This design is a SIMULATION, not a construction manual. Any real-world implementation requires:
- Full engineering design (mechanical, thermal-hydraulic, control systems)
- Independent peer review and validation
- Regulatory licensing (NRC in US, equivalent elsewhere)
- IAEA safeguards agreement
- Professional nuclear engineering team
This is NOT a DIY project.
This is NOT for weapons development.
This is a gift to the scientific community for peaceful advancement.
If you cannot commit to peaceful use and regulatory compliance, DO NOT use this design.
