INFLUENCE OF MECHANICAL COLLISION MACROOBJECTS ON NUCLEAR-PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPONENTSOF THEIR NUCLIDES
The study presents the results of the qualitative analysis of the elementary nuclear-physical processes that can be initiated by inertial explosion of heavy metals. We revealed the possibility of a substantial reduction in the half-life of atomic nuclei as a result of inertial explosion, and the potential for subsequent nuclear reactions, including the fission of heavy nuclei. We confirmed the opinion of independent experts that the use of ammunition with a projectile of the metal depleted uranium may lead to radioactive contamination of the territory
