There is an interesting LENR process that Papp used in his engine to produce loads of X-rays that might be at play here.
Papp loved radium because it was a prodigious producer of alpha particles. When such an alpha emitter is exposed to a heavy electric spark, the magnetic fields produced by the spark increase the decay rate of the alpha emitter enormously. While the magnetic fields are high, a large flux of Alpha particles is emitted. This LENR process was patented by Ken Shoulders to neutralize radioactive waste. This reactor may be using a magnetic field to increase alpha flux in the radioactive elements in nuclear waste to induce accelerated secondary nuclear reactions generated by high energy alpha particle flux.
