Possibility of Using of Cold Fusion for the Transmutation of Nuclear Waste Products

Abstract

The possibility of using cold fusion for nuclear waste products transmutation is investigated in this paper. In generally a method is based on saturation of the titanium by a mixture of deuterium and air. Possible nuclear fusion reactions are discussed. Their "burning out" sections, effective half-life periods and intensity of neutron beams are evaluated. The applicability of the method for a transmutation of the nuclear waste containing cesium-137 is considered.
