Abstract
Previously, it has been repeatedly suggested that the radioactive decay of nuclei is not a random phenomenon and can occur under the influence of a neutrino flux. Our recent experiment [1] showed that the neutrino flux created by a nuclear reactor affects the decay of nuclei in an isolated source 90Sr/90Y, whose beta-electrons have an average energy of the order of 1 MeV. This paper presents the results of searching for the effect of the neutrino flux generated by a pulsed nuclear reactor on the rate of decay of 63Ni nuclei. These nuclei were chosen as the object of research due to the fact that they have a low energy of beta-electrons of the order of 50 keV. Measurements have shown that the same flux of reactor neutrinos has approximately an order of magnitude stronger effect on 63Ni nuclei than on the previously studied nuclei 90Sr/90Y.

Summary
The discovery of radioactivity raised the question: is radioactive decay a random phenomenon?. The power of the quantum mechanics apparatus and the beauty of the new approach have swayed the physical community to the side of the anti-determinists. This view is dominant and radioactive decay is considered a purely random phenomenon. Electromagnetic forces that, according to the electromagnetic model, bind proton and electron to form neutron do not carry a mechanism for degradation of the combined state In this model, there is no internal cause that could induce the lose stability of neutron and its decay. It is shown that the same flux of reactor neutrinos has approximately an order of magnitude stronger effect on the decay of 63Ni nuclei, characterized by low energy beta-electrons
