IRAS [Irradiated Solution]
-
Support, i can use this as fuel to power my realistic spacecraft. Due to the fact that LOXY burns instantly when something goes wrong, and it's hard to re-ignite my current engine designs.

No I meant that when in contact with DEUT, IRAS would be more stable.

The idea of IRAS was to be used as a fuel, not a radioactive substance. It would be too complicated to measure stability. It.might work and its a great idea but there would be no real way to determine it. -
I like this idea too, It seems like a useful element for fuels and reactors, but what would be the neutron output, could it be compressed like deuterium?

Neutrons would be materialized when the liquid is burned. If it had the capacity to be compressed it might work bad under high pressure conditions, rendering it obsolete for certain factories. Better to just leave it at one stable size. -
First of all, it'd be better if you separated the different sections of the post in different paragraphs, because walls of information are not that easy to read. :P
Then, if I got the idea right, this would be a liquid, that when it reaches certain temperature or makes contact with something, it gets cosumed while burning, releasing neutrons AND fire?

For simplicity's sake, it will act like a slow burning oil that release neutrons throughout the burning period. It won't spontaneously combust, but I may think of a few gas reactants that will cause instant contact ignition. It all depends on who wants what. -

I was thinking a very formidable fuel source for many different engines. But that too is a great purpose too.
