Influence of mechanical collision macroobjects on nuclear-physical properties of components of 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 ofammunition with a projectile ofthe metal depleted uranium may lead to radioactive contamination of the territory.
