Where did you get this nonsense? Mills technology has nothing to do with nuclei, or electrons penetrating them. It has nothing to do with electron-capture, which is what you appear to be implying. >So show me a reaction >channel cross section were electron penetration of the nucleus can cause >nuclear reactions. See any electron-capture reaction. > >I have seen alpha, neutron, gamma, photon. but never electron reaction >cross sections. Some of the positron decay reactions also have an electron capture branch. In rare cases, there is not enough energy to create a positron, and electron-capture is the only form of decay. e.g. 59Ni + e- -> 59Co.
