The Svedberg Laboratory of Uppsala U. in Sweden recently published - "THE NATURE OF THE CHEMONUCLEAR TRANSITION" - Hidetsugu Ikegami http://www.tsl.uu.se/digitalAssets/142/142245_tsl-note-2012-61.pdf - in which the author proposes that in some environments s-orbital electron dynamics greatly enhance certain fission and fusion reactions. {{ EXTRACT: The Nature of the Chemonuclear Transition In any nuclear transition undergoing gently compared to atomic transitions, e.g. nuclear collisions, in its turn, nuclear fusion or fusion reactions going on more slowly than the gyration speed of electrons ZvB in the 1s-orbital of reactant atoms, the electrons adjust their electronic states continuously and smoothly to the nuclear transitions or reactions. Here Z and vB denote the atomic number of reactant atoms/nuclei colliding with light ions and Bohr speed respectively. Thereby united nuclear and atomic transitions are likely to take place. In fact such united transitions have been observed in the united atom formation in the high energy heavy ion collision experiments through detecting the characteristic X-rays of united atoms in which pairs of colliding nuclei coexist at the center of common 1s-electron orbitals [1].}} -- Lou Pagnucco
