For a better understanding of the nature of isomer depletion via the nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) process, we have presented here, for the long-lived (T-1/2 similar to 6.85 h) Mo-93m isomer, the results of high-precision multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations concerning the dependence of the energy released by electron capture into different atomic sub-shells of the N, M, and L shells on the specific charge state. These energy values can be understood as benchmarks, i.e., reference parameters, which are crucial for implementations of the proposed beam-based scenario approach for different stopping targets. The authors believe that this detailed analysis of the atomic conditions for the NEEC process should be a first step to applied research, which aims to allow the controlled release of energy stored in the nuclear isomer of selected elements. The presented studies may contribute to the development of the concept of new, unconventional, and ultra-energy-dense nuclear power sources.
