bionerd23 | homemade fusor (nuclear fusion reactor) - neutron and x-ray radiation, silver activation @bionerd23 | Uploaded August 2011 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
nucleosynthesis with a farnsworth-hirsch-fusor - a homemade nuclear fusion reactor that, in this case, fuses deuterium (H-2) atoms.
the result is an intense output of x-radiation - and neutron radiation, which allows for activation of e.g. silver!
in mentioned process, nuclear transmutation occurs by silver atoms capturing neutrons released by the fusion reaction - thus, turning into radioactive isotopes of silver which will then beta-decay into cadmium atoms.

the giant arch has just started moving, about to swallow the rugged old shelter object, entombing the remains of the Chernobyl reactor unit 4 forever...
this trip was a joint venture with Carl Willis during an emergency response & decon training; be sure to check out his youtube channel for more Chernobyl & radiation-related videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/Thallium208")
