Abstract :
The self-charging of radioactive ultrafine particles, which is temperature independent, has a number of applications. The use explored in this preliminary study indicates that the enhancement of more than an order of magnitude in MHD conductivity is possible, if nonequilibrium can be maintained. The creation of ion pairs, the relationship between equilibrium and nonequilibrium effects, and the general radioactive behavior of ultrafine particles are areas that require further investigation.
