About the work
This document is an official theoretical addendum to the Benedettini Protostar Reactor Theory. It proposes a moderation and regulation mechanism for the metastable protostar reactor core through a hybrid gel-based intercapillary layer.
The paper introduces a theoretical architecture in which a Californium (Cf) shell is separated from the inner core by a controlled moderation layer composed of boron, carbon nanotubes, and lithium suspended in a hydrogel matrix. The hydrogel circulates through a hollow molybdenum containment layer that functions as the internal flow channel. This interlayer acts as a neutron moderator and partial absorber, enabling thermal management and regulating neutron excitation toward the core.
Additionally, the framework highlights the secondary production of isotopic byproducts, particularly tritium (T), as a consequence of the moderation dynamics. This tritium, theoretically recoverable and re-injectable into the system, is proposed as part of an internal re-excitation cycle designed to sustain the metastable reaction within non-critical, sub-collapse conditions.
This work should be regarded as a theoretical construct intended to support further discussion and evaluation in the context of experimental high-energy systems, metastable reaction chains, and advanced fusion concepts.
