Abstract
The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the implementation of nuclear processes in heavy water under normal conditions. γ-radiation was recorded under the action of mechanical pulses with steep fronts and acoustic repetition rate on heavy water. Impurity concentrations were measured on a mass spectrometer before and after exposure to sharp mechanical pulses. Comparative characteristics of the results of measurements performed in ordinary water with repetition of the experimental conditions are given. A mechanism based on the concept of the structure of electrical double layers that arise when a metal contacts heavy water is proposed for the formation of quasi-neutron complexes, which are involved in nuclear transformations, leading to a change in the concentration of impurities in heavy water.
