Abstract
The long-standing problem of nucleosynthesis from non-thermal charged particles is reviewed with emphasis on some novel points. Recent theor etical results predict very efficient acceleration of nuclei (up to Ge V range) by violent systems with energy release in the form of multipl e shock waves - OB associations and coronae of AGNs and black holes ca ndidates in galactic accretion disks. A detection of gamma-line emissi on from the Orion complex by the COMPTEL telescope on board of GRO cou ld confirm theoretical predictions. Production of lithium by non-therm al particles in Orion-Like objects is discussed. The mechanism can be responsible for the observed variations of abundance of isotopes.
