Radioactivity

I propose to combine, using emitters of electromagnetic waves and radiation, electromagnetic waves of different lengths - radio waves and radioactivity. So that there are ripples of radioactivity on an electromagnetic wave of high power and length (like ripples of small waves on a large sea wave). An electromagnetic wave of great length and power (radio wave) acts as a carrier of radioactivity. This can increase the distance of radioactivity and allow you to change the properties of radioactive elements over a long distance. Which can be used to deactivate radioactive waste from a safe distance.
This can be determined experimentally by combining high-power electromagnetic waves and different types of radiation. For example, directing electromagnetic and radioactive radiation in a cross direction and measuring the radioactivity level in the direction of electromagnetic radiation.
It will be interesting to read the opinions of experts on this matter.

You seem to be confused; radioactivity, at least, of the ionizing variety are carried by particles, not waves and no amount of RF emission can boost radioactivity.
 
It is possible that this method can be used to speed up the decay of radioactive elements.
 
So you think you can bombard a slowly decaying nucleus with long wave high amplitude RF waves in order to speed up the nuclear disintegration ?
 
The basic idea is to use high-power electromagnetic waves as a carrier of radioactivity to change the properties of radioactive elements at a large and safe distance. This is just a guess. I wonder what experts think about this topic.
 
use high-power electromagnetic waves as a carrier of radioactivity
This phrase is nonsense. EM waves, are radio-frequency (RF) waves, meaning they can be used for radio communications and have nothing to do with radioactivity, which is nuclei disintegrating.

Again, EM waves cannot affect radioactivity and vice-versa.

This does not require experts, only high school physics.

The hypothesis is that high-power electromagnetic waves, interacting with a flow of radioactive elements, will act as a transporter of radioactivity over a long distance and will influence radioactive elements from this distance.
 
You mean augmenting a particulate very high energy alpha ray beam with a high power RF beam so it can travel longer distances to accelerate radioactive decay of some remote located radioactive substance ?

In general, yes. A powerful electromagnetic wave acts as a medium, a flow, a means of transporting a radioactive agent to influence radioactive elements at a great distance.
