Force Gamma radiation

All the nuclear reactions that have been described thus far are examples of radioactive decay, where one element is converted into another element by the spontaneous emission of radiation. This conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another element is called transmutation. Except for gamma emission, which does not alter an atom s atomic number, all nuclear reactions are transmutation reactions. Some unstable nuclei, such as the uranium salts used by Henri Becquerel, undergo transmutation naturally. However, transmutation may also be forced, or induced, by bombarding a stable nucleus with high-energy alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. 

The ADM-300 MFR replaces the PAC-IS, AN/PDR 27, AN/PDR 43, and AN/PDR 56 series radiation, detection and computation (RADIAC) instruments. The ADM-300 MFR is used to monitor and detect high and low intensities of radiation from radiological accidents and wartime levels of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. The ADM300 MFR is available for worldwide mobility and is available at all U. S. Air Force installations. 

The Romashka system testing confirmed the opportunity of a durable lifetime for thermoelectric elements under the conditions of neutron and gamma radiation exposure. Electrical power reduction over the lifetime of 15,000 h was determined by 1.5 times increase of the converter internal resistance (mainly, of the contact one) with 1.17 times increase of the thermoelectromotive force. Studies showed that the temperature annealing without irradiation resulted in significant restoration of properties. 

Alternately, energetic particle radiation-assisted methods (e.g., plasma, gamma irradiation, and electron beam irradiation) enabled a rapid formation of active sites to initialize the all-solid-state polymerization process and avoid the introduction of chemical impurities. A PE membrane had been coated with acrylonitrile (AN) (Kim et al., 2009) via a plasma technology. The ion conductivity was improved from 0.4 to 1.4 mS/cm, and the average peeling force was increased to 22.6 N/m or by up to 18%. The resulting LIB also exhibited rather a stable cycle performance.
