PARKHOMOV, S.N. ZABAVIN, T.R. TIMERBULATOV, K.A. ALABIN, S.N. ANDREEV, A.G. SOBOLEV At interaction of hydrogen with a number of metals, including nickel, not only mechanical and chemical changes, but also such extraordinary phenomena as abnormally big thermal emission and change of isotope and atomic structure are observed. The review of experiments in which these phenomena are investigated is given. Key words: hydrogen, nickel, heat release, isotope structure, radiation. Contacts: E-mail: boriev@binep.ac.ru Pp. 13-24.
