Abstract
1. IT is well known that the stability of the atomic structure is closely connected with the mechanical conservation laws. It has been shown that even the stability of the atomic nucleus, in particular the nuclear beta stability, is subject to conditions which can at least formally be interpreted as conservation laws for the mechanical integrals of motion1. It may be pointed out, however, that the application of tho usual mechanical conservation laws only is not sufficient to account for nuclear stability.
