According to the Schiff theorem, an external electric field on the atomic nucleus is completely shielded by electrons. However, in the present paper, it is shown that, in a nonstationary state of atoms and molecules, the electric field on the nucleus is not zero. It may affect nuclear reactions and interact with nuclear electric dipole moment.
