Oxyfuel combustion. An alternative is to burn the fossil fuel in pure or enriched oxygen. In such a fashion the flue gas will contain mostly CO2 and H2O. A part of the flue gas needs to be recycled into the combustion chamber in order to control the flame temperature. From the non-recycled flue gas, water vapor can be readily condensed, and the CO2 can be compressed and piped directly to the storage site. 3, record 10, English, - oxyfuel%20combustion

The design of a nuclear rocket engine is basically quite simple. The reactor core is composed of multiple fuel rods containing plutonium or enriched uranium. The spontaneous decay of atoms in the fuel rods produces a weak background of fast neutrons. 2, record 13, English, - nuclear%20rocket%20engine

In the seventies, the CEA, in collaboration with its subsidiaries Sfec and Technicatome, developed a fuel with a low level of enrichment, Caramel. The CEA used complete cores of Caramel in the Isis and Osiris reactors. It recently abandoned use of Caramel in Osiris to the benefit of silicide fuel. Caramel fuel was and, it seems, may still be, used in submarines. Caramel fuel is composed of flat pastilles of uranium oxide enriched to about 7. 5%. Each pastille has almost the shape and size of a true caramel, hence the name. 1, record 15, English, - Caramel%20fuel
