  1. What an asset is Chat GPT. Concerning depleted uranium it explains how an alpha emitter like DA can cause a gamma spike. “Yes, under certain circumstances, an alpha emitter can cause the emission of gamma radiation. Alpha particles are composed of two protons and two neutrons and have a positive charge. They are relatively large and do not penetrate matter very far. However, when an alpha particle interacts with certain materials, such as heavy elements or dense mediums, it can undergo a process called alpha capture, where it is absorbed and forms a new, unstable nucleus. This new nucleus may be in an excited state, and as it transitions to a more stable state, it can release excess energy in the form of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons and is the most energetic type of electromagnetic radiation. So, in the context of an explosion involving an alpha-emitting material, if the alpha particles interact with other elements and undergo alpha capture, it is possible for gamma radiation to be emitted as a result of the subsequent nuclear processes.”
