Chemical consequences of nuclear transformations

Based on the agreement between theoretical descriptions and observations of initial retention as well as physical studies in solid state, the models that suggest lesser disorder are, at the moment, those that explain better most of the results found in literature. However, as the explanation of the initial retention is only part of the solid state studies, other models must be developed in order to explain the existence and the yield of all observed products as well as the effects of after irradiation treatments, which are responsible for the formation of aditional bonds.
