| 摘要 |
A method for reducing radioactivity in a radioactive sample (106) is disclosed, comprising contacting said sample (106) with a beam (104) of photons, said beam (104) having an energy level sufficient to cause said radioactive sample (106) to emit particles including photons in an amount sufficient to accelerate a reduction in radioactivity of said sample (106). Also disclosed is a method of increasing radioactive decay in a radioactive isotope sample (106) comprising the steps of: determining a beam (104) of an effective energy and effective flux of photons to increase radioactive decay in the radioactive isotope sample (106); applying the beam (104) to the radioactive isotope (106); and maintaining the beam (104) for an amount of time effective to increase the radioactivity of the radioactive isotope (106).
