Abstract

The anomalous X-ray and thermal processes associated with cavitation of fast liquid jet in a narrow channel and in free space outside the channel are considered. It has been found that the output of the channel and the initial part of the free jet are sources of intense X-rays, generation of which is connected with shock waves. The energy of X-rays (ℏω ≈ 0.7- 5.0 keV) depends on the type of atoms on the radiating surface. Formation of shock waves and X-rays is accompanied by generation of undamped high-frequency thermal waves.

Keywords

Abstract

This article presents the results of long-term investigations of stable and radioactive isotopes transmutation in growing microbiological cultures. It is shown that transmutation during growth of microbiological associations is 20 times more effective than the same process in the form of 'clean' microbiological culture. In this work, the process of controlled decontamination of highly active reactor isotopes (reactor waste) through the process of growing microbiological associations has been studied. The most rapidly increasing decay rate of Cs¹³⁷ isotope, which occurred with the 'effective' half life τ^* ≈ 310 days (involving an increase in rate and decrease in half life by a factor of 35) was observed in the presence of Ca salt in closed flask with active water containing Cs¹³⁷ solution and optimal microbiological association.
