If ZPE radiation is being upshifted in a cavity then the Reifenschweiler effect would more likely be an increase in the decay rate, not a decrease. This is because the nucleus would be over-stimulated in the sense of the induced gamma effect, and it would decay faster, not slower.
If seems more likely that radiation is being neither upshifted or
downshifted, at least in the Reifenschweiler effect.
Unlike many observers, I see the decay rate of the tritium in the Casimir
cavity (from the perspective of the tritium itself) as NOT changing !
...but instead some of the beta decay is being ported into a ZPE "sink"
instead, so it only appears to us, outside the cavity ,that the decay rate
it is slower than it was.
IOW some of the radiation goes into Dirac 'reciprocal space' or a correlate,
and we simply do not see it in 3-space, but from the standpoint of the rate
itself and the tritium itself - nothing has changed.
This can explain the Rossi heating effect when you substitute IRH (inverted
Rydberg hydrogen) for tritium. More on that later.

From: Roarty, Francis X
Robin,
I had the same original "displacement" concept until
recently and I think it is roughly equivalent to the "up shifted" term Scott
and Thomas introduced me to. The issue with the "displacement" concept is it
carries with it an image of a vacant portion of space where the displaced
wavelength used to reside. While my relativistic theory doesn't exactly
match either concept the "up shifted" concept Thomas Prevenslik first
introduced me to comes from a thermal dynamic perspective of Casimir effect
- I used to consider this the "other" camp for Casimir theory vs. the
"displacement" camp that I was more comfortable with - Thomas comes at this
from a perspective of thermal dynamics and will argue the plates are not
"pushed" together and that ether doesn't need to exist to explain the
effect, he explains the effect as an imbalance created by "up shifting"
causing the plates to self attract. Although my "relativistic" concept
now represents a new 3rd option/camp I chose to refer to the "up shifting"
version as the alternative because it already deals with what I consider a
misconception of there being a "vacancy" - the energy summation is still
reduced because energy content reduces with wavelength until some cutoff
frequency beyond which it is meaningless to integrate, therefore an up
shifted spectrum will also sum to a lower energy total. For a while I just
went with the idea that the vacancy got filled in with shorter wavelengths
but the "up shifted" concept already handles that issue plus it is an easier
transition to the "relativistic" concept because it already has the same
remote perspective of faster wavelengths inside the cavity... the only thing
it lacked was my position that the wavelengths would appear unchanged to a
local observer in the cavity... which as I have said previously is more in
keeping with the changes in energy density, anomalous increases in C
transition time thru the cavity as measured externally and
Claims of variation of radioactive decay rates.

As I understand it, they are not normally upshifted. They are excluded
altogether, because they are too long to fit in the cavity. It's precisely
because they are excluded that they press on the outside, but not on the
inside
walls of the cavity, hence producing a pressure that pushes the walls
together.
Only the wavelengths greater than the cavity dimensions are responsible for
this, and since these represent but a minute fraction of the total, the
force is
very small, until the walls get very close together. That's because as they
approach one another, the excluded wavelengths get shorter and shorter,
representing an ever increasing amount of vacuum energy.
