-Caveat Lector- Below is the response of leading new energy scientist Hal Fox to two leading members (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)of the science advisory panel to California Governor Gray Davis considering alternative nuclear waste disposal ideas in an apparent new initiative to open Ward Valley, CA, as a nuclear waste dump http://www.llrw.org/llrwscimembers.html . Fox is also head of the Institute for New Energy in Utah which has held numerous conferences about new energy technologies to replace nuclear and fossil fuel power (eg, cold fusion, zero-point energy devices, low energy nuclear reactions, etc.) see http://www.pakrak.com/ine Please also email these panel members and Governor Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to urge their consideration of the below "onsite nuclear remediation" alternatives to the "mobile Chernobyl" plan of shipping radioactive wastes across country for burial at Ward Valley, Yucca Mountain, et al. Paying attention to the new science behind these LENT (Low Energy Nuclear Transmutation) technologies also means more awareness of new energy technologies to replace nuclear and fossil fuel power.

The biggest danger for low-level radioactive wastes comes from the political damage. Few citizens want anything radioactive moved through or stored in their community. Fortunately, there are on-site treatments for such radioactive wastes as described below. 2. One method of treatment is "phyto-remediation" or remediation by using plants. The plants are grown in the radioactive soil or in the soil in which the radioactive low-level waste is buried. Plants take up and store the radioactive materials in roots or stems. Then the plant material can be carefully burned (without the release of smoke) and the ashes disposed of properly. The hemp-producing plants and sunflowers (among others) have been shown to be effective. There is some literature on this topic. The applications are best for soils (such as around Chernobyl) that have been contaminated. This process can concentrate some of the radioactive materials and reduce the overall local radioactivity. 3. Soil treatment is another method. It has been found (especially in Japan near the two areas where U.S. atomic bombs were exploded) that the degree of radioactivity in many soils reduced much faster than predicted by nuclear physicists. This type of handling of radioactivity needs further scientific treatment to determine the type of organisms that might optimize the handling of low-level radioactive wastes. 4. Many life forms have the ability to perform limited amounts of nuclear processes. The work of Kevran and Komaki should be considered. See the paper by Dr. John O'M. Bockris (retired distinguished professor at Texas A&M) in the issue of the Journal of New Energy, being sent to the printer this week (vol 4, no 2). The above citations should be carefully considered in two ways: a. There should be more interest in finding ways for on-site handling of radioactive wastes. b. There should be more government funding made available for optimizing the many findings of biological mechanisms that can handle or transform radioactive substances. There are specific micro-organisms that can exist in quite high levels of radioactivity. However, almost no effort has been made to study the use of life forms to transmute radioactive elements into stable elements. The current (but incorrect) scientific model does not allow for any type of transmutation of radioactive elements to stable elements except by high-energy means. That current scientific model is no longer valid. There have been several international conferences on low-energy nuclear reactions. In our own laboratory, we are working on techniques for the stabilization of high-level radioactive wastes. We have been successful with radioactive elements dissolved in liquids and are now obtaining equipment to work in low-pressure environments with pulverized solid fuel pellets. Best personal regards, Hal Fox, editor, Journal of New Energy P.S. As one of the better informed scientists in the area of amelioration of radioactive materials, I would be pleased to appear before the committee. My fees and travel expenses are modest.
