While I have plenty of reasons to criticize the means of analysis of the Lugano experiment, the time it took to release the report is not something I would criticize. The analysis of the ash could only be conducted after the experiment was completed. After termination of the experiment, arrangements had to be made to break open the reactor and scrape out the ash. Then the ash had to go to a separate labs for SEM/EDS analysis, ICP-MS, and SIMS. Getting these tests completed and the results integrated into the report took some time.
