Abstract

Boltzmann kinetic equations governing energy spectra distribution of fast particles in nuclear induced
plasma are defined and presented for continuous fissionable plasma interacting with neutrons.
The formation of electrons energy distribution crucially depends on energy distribution of fission
fragments and cannot be treated separately and their distributions self consistently affect on electrons
energy spectra time evolution and their degradation in space. So the self-consistent system of Boltzmann
kinetic equations for both electrons and fission fragments are proposed and discussed for helium-3
plasma. Primary electrons spectra analytical expressions are derived and the first order approximation
presented on the assumption that energy spectra of protons and tritium nuclei have monochromatic energy
spectra created by helium-3 fissioning in neutron flux. Any gas irradiated by highly energetic particles
demonstrates its modified chemical abilities as well as a great variety of energy transformation channels
including the selection of some definite chemical reactions leading to innovative transformation in
technology [1-5]
