Zeroth-order phase transitions and Zipf law quantization

Abstract: From the standpoint of thermodynamic averaging of fission microprocesses, we investigate the origin of radioactive release in an NPP after an accident or after resource depletion. The genesis of the NPP release is interpreted as a new thermodynamic phenomenon, a zeroth-order phase transition. This problem setting results in a problem in probabilistic number theory. We prove the corresponding theorem leading to quantization of the Zipf law for the frequency of a zeroth-order phase transition with different values of the jump of the Gibbs thermodynamic potential. We introduce the notion of hole dimension.

Keywords: Chernobyl NPP, probabilistic number theory, Bose–Einstein distribution, quantization, Zipf law, thermodynamics, negative dimension.
