Summary:A machine, article, process of using, process of making, products produced thereby and necessary intermediates. Illustratively, there can be a process of producing electrical power, the process comprising: creating neutrons via nuclear reactions, said neutrons carrying neutron kinetic energy; moderating said neutrons to thermal energies to produce moderated neutrons, converting the neutron kinetic energy into heat, and transmitting said heat to a heat exchanger; creating ions via the nuclear reactions, stopping the ions to produce heat, and transmitting to said heat exchanger the heat generated by the stopping of the ions; capturing said moderated neutrons with sulfur atoms to produce heat, and transmitting to said heat exchanger energy released by the capturing of said moderated neutrons; transmitting energy from decaying radioisotopes created by the capturing of said moderated neutrons to said heat exchanger; heat exchanging at least some of each said heat and energy in said heat exchanger by converting water into steam; and generating electrical power with said steam.
