Electrochemical voltaic device being based on biological product (raw silk) was empirically known to produce output signal under environmental circumstances. Increase in the output signal was observed near nuclear reactors. The increase was also seen near low-energy large-quantity tritium source. Since radiations such as gamma and neutrino were well shielded, the phenomenon seems to be ascribed to weak interaction. The phenomenon may be usable for non-destructive management of nuclear-fusion large-quantity tritium fuel.

Nuclear-reactor anti-neutrino oscillation experiments have recently been reported. The reason for the oscillation is understood to be attributed to internal motion of neutrino itself. On the basis of this understanding, the signal increase of the electrochemical voltaic device is possibly ascribed to the influence from weak-interaction mass-generation field near low-energy large-quantity beta nuclides.
