Abstract
Cluster decay, as a special type of radioactive decay, up to date, is widely investigated. Nevertheless, until now, this activity is restricted: from one side by the possibilities of theoretical analysis, where some suc-cess is obtained for light nuclei only; and from another side only by experiments for nuclei defragmentation in searching for fission on magic nuclei. However, standard methods of radiometry and statistical analysis have not yet been applied. Such possibility can be realized by searching for acts of cluster decay as a rare event on an array of alpha decay acts of actinides, which are recorded by industrial ionization fission chambers. The scheme of the experiment is discussed, which consists in the registration of every act of alpha decay, against the back-ground of which it is possible to detect the presence of nuclear clusters based on isotopes of $^{12,14}$C, $^{20}$O, and others, which can be formed in the decay of $^{234,235}$U. The requirements for electronics and the background con-ditions for such an experiment are discussed in detail.
