In the context of the Narayanaswamy claim, nuclear isomers will not explain a nuclear transition such as X -> Fe. Isomeric transitions involve a transition from an excited state of an element to a less excited state, or to the ground state, e.g., 180mTa -> 180Ta + gamma. Narayanaswamy reports that he is seeing "excess" iron, i.e., iron that it is coming from something else. Eric
