Abstract: It is shown that the asymptotic temporal behaviour of the current value of the stimulated emission cross section leads to a complex dynamics of the radiative release of the nuclear energy of long-lived metastable states induced by the external flux of resonance gamma quanta. The stimulated emission cross section of isomeric nuclei in atoms of a Bose–Einstein condensate becomes sufficient to achieve a comparatively high efficiency of this process, which is manifested in a considerable increase in the decay rate of metastable states.
