What happens to gravitational field around nucleus when there is a radioactive 
decay which causes mass loss (and energy radiation). What happens in fusion
process when there is a mass loss? How the radiated energy and gravitation are 
linked in this case? Does the gravitational field of sun change due nuclear 
process? Is this change - if any - taken account in the cosmological models 
nowadays?
