Abstract.  The development of sausage type (m=0) instabilities in initially homogeneous plasma column leads to the appearance of dense plasma. Temperature of this plasma is substantially higher, than the average plasma temperature in the column. Therefore the reasonable idea might be the using of this high temperature areas for nuclear burn wave initiation. The study for possibility of this phenomenon is presented.
