Abstract
The nonequilibrium dynamical bifurcation analyses of the core 3He nuclear reaction diffusion system show that if the system is influenced by a flow velocity field that emerges in the Sun's core, the system becomes unstable to jump from the original state to a new state in which the total amount of 3He is enhanced and therefore may suppress the generation of both 7Be and 8B neutrinos. Furthermore, if the instability takes place in a local region, this allows a locally heightened energy generation more than its surroundings.
