Background radiation reciever

Where did you get this from?


Yes pu238 will sometimes absorb its own He(4) emissions
and in the right arrangement can even extend the half-life of a sample
by raising its internal energy after it has decayed.
But all of the energy in these cases are accounted for.


If it randomly absorbed cosmic He(4), that would be evident in the math
which it is not.


There can be 'some' change in temperatures (mostly internal) by self-bombardment
But the heat from a thermo-reaction is caused by the particles bombarding a neutral source.
Such as the ceramic casing the Pu is put into.
Then it is simply ran through a Seebeck thermogenerator.


We can count the emissions, there aren't "extra particles", which would require a cosmic source.
The rare instance where a high energy He(4) from space were to strike our Pu sample
Is statistically improbable, and would be difficult to stage the event to even test this.
High-energy cosmic He(4) isn't that common in our surroundings.


Pu238 isn't "hot" all by itself.
To put this in perspective: a Pu sample by itself will sit around 600-700 degrees
While the ceramic in the radioisotope thermogenerator becomes heated to 1100


A well insulated device can get hotter than that over time,


Besides the obvious point that the Zpe is not 'cosmic rays'. It is the background radiation
Which is present when there are no cosmic rays.

All radiation is a transformation of the cosmic rays into a lower frequency energies.
The only difference is that the frequency of the above rates is so high that it can't be measured because it penetrates everything.
In the case of Pu 238, it is getting quite hot on its own.
The fact that it is not sold doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Actually we can detect it's frequency
And we find this to decrease with more mass and more time
Because it is a self-resonant isotope, the larger the mass, the lower the frequency.
Time, because it excites itself the more mass there is.
It is 8.51 MHz/ (kg/s^2)
The more mass, the slower it tics
And the slower it tics, the more energy is emanating with each tic
Until........ boom, and it rains Neptunium
That kills everyone around it, leaving Uranium dust in its trail.


The frequency of Pu238 is consistent, with or without "cosmic rays".
Even when isolated


Isotopes do not radiate as a result of cosmic energy
(some of them may have been formed in stars originally)
They radiate as a result of nucleic instability.
charged particles in the nucleus are not balanced.
That's why they sometimes break free and fly off.


We can cause this make a stable element 'radiate'

what is causing the nuclear instability?

[sm0ky2]

Imbalanced charges


Nucleic particles must be balanced for stability.
The atomic feedback mechanism resembles an
imbalanced flywheel in the (unstable) isotopes.


But do not be mistaken, even "stable" atoms radiate.
We consider them to be "non-radioactive" because of the magnitudes.
Nucleic<->electron interactions input environmental changes in energy
and output a nucleic response.
Every atom functions this way.


Carbon,sulfur, krypton, yttrium, tantalum, bohrium
each have a high-magnitude response to environmental changes
This is why they form into organic chains (enzymes, rna, dna)
The former 4 are not found in earth-based life forms.
Because of our planetary conditions.

Instability was proven by Gustave LeBon in 19th century
He was shining light onto steel, it it responded by the increased ionization.
