Supporting the Josephson Interpretation of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and Stabilization of Nuclear Waste

Abstract

Brian Josephson appealed at the meeting of the Nobel Laureates July 2004 against the ignorance of physicist to the phenomenon of cold fusion. Though there are good reasons against many publications on this topic but not for all what was reported. It seems to be indicated to summarize the following serious, reproducible and confirmed observations on the reactions of protons or deuterons incorporated in host metals such as palladium, nickel and other metals. We underline the confusing discovery by Cockroft and Oliphant with the anomalous low energy for nuclear reactions which was hundred times lower than in the usual cases when smashing nuclei against their Coulomb potential. A similar unexpected result was that of Otto Hahn’s-the chemist!-Discovery of fission that had changed the world. A significant result of cold fusion was seen in gaseous atmosphere or discharges between palladium targets, rather significant and fully reproducible, e.g. From the “life after death” heat production of such high values per host atom that only nuclear reactions can be involved. This supports the earlier evaluation of neutron generation in fully reversible experiments with gas discharges hinting that a reasonable screening effect-preferably in the swimming electron layer-may lead to reactions at nuclear distances d of picometers with reaction probability times U off about mega seconds similar to the K-shell capture radioactivity. Further electrolytic experiments led to Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) where the involvement of pollution could be excluded from the generation of very seldom rare earth elements. A basically new theory for DD cross sections is used to confirm the picometer-mega second reactions of cold fusion. Other theoretical aspects are given from measured heavy element distributions similar to the standard abundance distribution, SAD, in the Universe with consequences on endothermic heavy nucleus generation, magic numbers and to quark-gluon plasmas. One application may be the elimination of long lived nuclear waste by transmutation into stable nuclei

ACCUMULATION OF RADIONUCLIDES BY PYLAISIELLA MOSS (<i>PYLAISIA POLYANTHA</i>) UNDER URBOECOSYSTEM CONDITIONS

“…The results compares with previous research which explained the possibility using P. polyantha as an effective bioindicator of radioactivity contamination of the total environment (Osman et al, 2005;Minkina et al, 2013b;Sushkova et al, 2014;). …”

ACCUMULATION OF RADIONUCLIDES BY PYLAISIELLA MOSS (<i>PYLAISIA POLYANTHA</i>) UNDER URBOECOSYSTEM CONDITIONS

“…The factors of accumulation whis is a parameter of ability of biological objects to accumulate radionuclides from natural objects of their habitat were determined in samples of mosses (Hansson et al, 2014). The results compares with previous research which explained the possibility using P. polyantha as an effective bioindicator of radioactivity contamination of the total environment (Osman et al, 2005;Minkina et al, 2013b;Sushkova et al, 2014;).…”

A theory of the relativistic fermionic spinrevorbital

“…On the basis of the model and application of Little (Effect) Rules, the neutron star and pulsar magnestar are put forth as further evidence for model such that the huge magnetic fields in these celestial bodies may accelerate reverse beta events (Goyal et al, 2001, Singh, 1992. In time stronger evidence mounts for pycnonuclear events in metal lattices even if currently at impractical rates (Naranjo et al, 2005;Szpak et al, 2005;Osman et al, 2005). Also the magnetic field, pressure and temperature conditions in the Fe core of the earth may contribute to cold fusion effects within the earth.…”
