We consider the process of nuclear ..beta.. decay in the field of an intense electromagnetic wave, whose influence is taken into account using the exact solutions to the relativistic quantum equations for the motion of an electron in an external electromagnetic field. A detailed study of the influence of an increase in the wave energy flux on the process is done. It is shown that, even though the spectral distribution of the decay electrons in the intense wave is already substantially modified at E/sup 2//(4..pi..)approx.(mc/sup 2//elambda/sub w/)/sup 2/, where lambda/sub w/ = c/..omega.. is the wave length, over a very wide range (mc/sup 2//elambda/sub w/)/sup 2/ (lambda/sub c/ /sup 2//lambda/sub w/ /sup 2/ (epsilon-c/sub 0/ /sup 2/-1)) <
