Chapter 13 Experimental Observation and Modeling of Cs-137 Isotope Deactivation and Stable Isotopes Transmutation in Biological Cells

摘要

The report presents the results of combined (Mossbauer and mass-spectroscopy) qualifying examinations of stable isotope transmutation processes in growing microbiological cultures, in the iron-region of atomic masses. It is shown that isotope transmutation during the process of growth of microbiological cultures, at optimal conditions, is 10-20 times more effective than the same transmutation process in the form of "one-line" (clean) microbiological cultures that we have studied previously. In the work, the process of direct, controlled decontamination of highly active long-lived isotopes through the process of growing microbiological systems has been studied. For the first time, an accelerated de-activation rate is observed that is 35 times greater than the controlled deactivation of the Cs~(137) isotope.
