Nuclear beta-decays that are forbidden by angular momentum and/or parity selection rules can be significantly enhanced by external electromagnetic fields. The effect is largely nonperturbative in nature, with a governing intensity parameter that becomes larger at long wavelengths. FIR radiation is a focus of interest for inducing the effect. An examination is done here of the field-dependent terms which lead to forbiddenness removal in beta-decay. These terms come primarily from field interaction with the initial and final nuclear charges, and from the longitudinal field interaction term for the beta-particle. Relevant astrophysical environments are discussed in which the effect can occur.
