Abstract
Nuclear processes can be stimulated by the presence of a macroscopic n umber of bosons in one of the final states. We describe the conditions necessary to observe the atom-stimulation of a beta decay process. Th e stimulation may be observable if it becomes possible to produce a Bo se-Einstein condensate with the order of 10(14) atoms in a trap.
