Chemo-nuclear reactions are reactions in which the radiation released by nuclear fission is applied directly to the induction of chemical reactions. Prototypes of chemo-nuclear reactors have been designed, However, a separation of core and process steam would, in contrast to these designs, allow the production of high quality steam and would be much more feasible economically. Two designs for such blanket chemo-nuclear reactors'' are described. The ionization of the process steam is induced by pile irradiation or by fission fragment bombardment, produced by subcritical fission of U/sup 235/ in the blanket. The use of neutron transformers is evaluated as a primary step in the construction of such reactors. (tr-auth)
