Abstract
Radiation from fission or fusion nuclear reactors or the like is converted to chemical energy form in a process simplifying handling of the constituent materials and operable at moderate temperatures and pressures with conventional plant construction materials. Thus a chemical in liquid phase is irradiated to form precipitate solid and gaseous constituents. Preferable chemicals are SnCl.sub.4 in the process SnCl.sub.4(1) .fwdarw.SnCl.sub.2(s) +Cl.sub.2(g) and TiCl.sub.4(1) .fwdarw.TiCl.sub.2(s) +Cl.sub.2(g). To obtain titanium metal the following step is used: ##STR1## This latter process also stores enough energy to release hydrogen from water.
