Abstract
People have always considered the search and development of new sources of energy to be among the priority areas of fundamental and applied research (Fortov in High energy density physics. FIZMATLIT, Moscow, 2013 [1]). In the first third of the twentieth century, research into the structure of the atom and atom nucleus was rapidly developing.
