TITLE INDUCED NUCLEAR BETA DECAY ABSTRACT Certain nuclear beta decay transitions, normally inhibited by angular momentum or parity considerations, can be induced to occur by the application of an electromagnetic field. The energy released by these induced nuclear transitions is useful for the controlled production of power. These induced beta decay transitions are also useful to reduce the halflives of long-lived fission product wastes from nuclear fission power plants. Theoretical results are given for induced beta decay halflives as a function of the intensity of the applied field. The nuclides treated are all those found in Nature which are potentially useful energy sources, as well as 90Sr and 137Cs--the most radioactive of fission wastes. It is shown that electromagnetic fields of the type and intensity required to achieve useful power production and/or fission waste disposal can be produced in a practical way.
