Conclusions: ... Reactor E-cat produces thermal energy in an amount comparable to

nuclear transformation, but running at low energies and gives no radioactive waste,

no radiation. From the point of view, common in nuclear physics, this can not be.

Nevertheless, we have to state that the experimental results obtained in this test

show that the heat output is greater than the heat output possible chemical reactions,and that the isotopic composition of the fuel has changed during operation of the

reactor. The absence of a satisfactory theoretical explanation for this can not be a

reason for the rejection or neglect of the experimental data ...

Results of the test reactor E-cat

The energy intensity of the fuel was 5.8 * 10 ^ 6 MJ / kg

- is several orders of magnitude higher than that ofknown chemical fuels

In samples of fuel after the experiment observeddistortion of natural isotopic composition

Meeting MEPhI on the decay of radioactive

isotopes, 06.03.14, Obninsk

RESOLVED: To ask the leadership of State Corporation "Rosatom" to define the

parent organization, charged with carrying out key experiments needed to

develop conclusions about the possibility of industrial application acceleration

technology decontamination of radioactive elements.

According to the results the conclusion to develop a program to create

Industrial Technology accelerated decontamination of radioactive elements.

By implementing program activities can be heldany research organizations, design bureaus and industrial enterprises, which

have the necessary competencies.

Experimental studies (GPI):

1) Investigation of mechanisms LENR, occurring during laserablation of metals in liquids. (Head of GA Shafeev)

2) Investigation of possible manifestations LENR at electric

3) Playing a result, Russia. Creation and testing of the heatgenerator. (VP Bystrov, together (?) With AG Parkhomov,

MY Kolobov and others.)

Basic Research Program LENR

(continued)... ..

Theoretical tasks:The theory of beta decay acceleration due

to the transition of an electron in beta-bound

states

The problem of "overcome the Coulomb

barrier."

The problem of "isotopic ratios."

The theory of "exotic particles" involved in

LENR


19/22

The problem of "overcoming the Coulomb barrier"

Uncertainty relation Shredingera- Robertson:

)14/( 2rhxp 1r - correlation coefficient

If the interacting particles are correlated in a coherent state, theprobability of tunneling through the Coulomb barrier can increase many

times.

In the works Vysotskogo- Adamenko * shown that under certain? Low-

frequency effects on a system of charged particles in the potential well(including an impurity in a solid) may be the formation of a coherent

correlated state of interacting particles.

The problem of "isotopic ratios"

Objective: "At the tip of the pen" to get natural?

Isotope ratios of all elements contained in the periodic

table.

Possible consequence:? The laws of nucleartransformation of one isotope to another.

In the works D.Filippova shown that there? Group of

elements, each of which transformation? Friend doesnot violate any laws of conservation.

LENR - a new class of nuclear reactions that are realized in

many experimental productions at low energies, resulting in

changes in the isotopic composition of the reagents, the releaseof large amounts of heat are often without the formation of

neutron flux and gamma-ray induced radioactivity.

Necessary system experimental and theoretical studies of the

phenomenon of LENR, a comprehensive analysis of theobtained data, a wide expert discussion

Understanding and mastering the mechanisms LENR will solve a

lot of applications, including: the creation of cheap autonomouspower plants, high-technology decontamination of nuclear waste

and the conversion of chemical elements.
