Obviously, a structure of that size would optimally transmit at that wavelength, however you would need a non-gamma based means of transferring the nuclear energy release to the structure over a period of time that would likely be large relative to the time that would normally be needed for a gamma to be released. IOW I'm guessing that the chances of such an event would be low relative to the chances of gamma release, and that it would thus be of little significance. I think the way to get a handle on this would be to calculate the power output of a 10 nm antenna, then see how long it would take to radiate say 5 MeV of energy (about average for a nuclear reaction involving a single proton), then compare the time thus determined to the roughly 1E-17 seconds that it takes to emit a gamma ray. Perhaps one of our resident EE's is up the challenge? ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
