Some manager (fund provider) was hold- heartedly  happy about the frustration 
of others IMHO.  Such is the ilk of anti-scientists and trolls,  vocal and 
obvious on the various LENR blogs.

Thank you, Jones.  That's an interesting account.  It's always frustrating when 
replications are attempted only half-heartedly and without attention to detail 
or followup.  Have you considered writing up a protocol for the pitchblend 
experiment?

I'm curious whether any of those replications have been outside of the LENR 
field.

Several years ago, not long after the P&F announcement - this was a hot topic 
on various forums. I participated in one replication attempt, since at the time 
I had a working Tesla coil (Ouidin coil)  setup which was an ideal vehicle to 
demonstrate the effect as it is more of a bipolar resonator giving a large 
swing in alternating HV potential across a sample.

We were able to show two orders of magnitude increase in the rate at which 
pitchblende decayed … but that rate gain attenuated after several days. This 
generated some interest at Cal (Berkeley).

The PhDs who ostensibly tried a replication experiment of the Barker patent 
(for unknown reasons)  proceeded with a setup which was completely inadequate 
and (as expected) showed a null result. This null result squelched any further 
interest in our funders.

Sadly the geniuses at Cal missed two  important details – which are that the 
effect works best (or only) on minerals (especially oxides of U and Th) and 
almost never works on a pure metal isotope like Californium IIRC  and second 
that the electric field must be arranged to have an extreme variation - such 
that the sample sees alternating voltage polarity over its surface and not a 
purely static field. As I recall, the details are explained in the patent. 
Researchers often hate to work with minerals since there is so much variability 
in composition... but still…

An effect which is stated not to work with metals is doomed from the start - if 
you use a metal. Anyway – everyone seemed to move to LENR after this and it was 
mostly forgotten.

The main reason that even a large increase in the decay rate of a mineral like 
pitchblende cannot be easily commercialized is that even at a factor of 100 
improvement, the half-life may drop from several billion years to several tens 
of million years, but still far from breakeven, considering the power put into 
the HV input. Even so, it is probably something that should have been continued.

I see the assignee is Altran Corporation which may still have an interest but 
it may not be the well-known Altran.

Gamma-ray, selected energy, directionally  controlled pluses (“gamma ray 
lasers”) are reported here:

https://physicsworld.com/a/gamma-ray-pulses-could-be-created-using-laser-plasma-accelerators/

Stimulated emission of EM radiation from  radioactive nuclear isomers is 
another way to create pulses  as well as  EM  ( gamma) pulses from the beta 
emitters. which frequently entail gammas as well.  IMHO.See my earlier  
comment to this thread.

The inert gas radioactive isotopes of krypton, radon and xenon, which are 
relatively long lived, may be particularly good for such stimulated emission in 
plasmas.  I believe radioactive krypton (a fission product and beta emitter) 
was/ is used to light airport runways reliably.   Radon, which occurs naturally 
from uranium decay, may be  the best.  Of course the beta emitters would also 
have an EM emission to create a pulsed emission.

Nuclear fuel reprocessing routinely release the krypton to the atmosphere to 
diffuse around the earth and decay in time, since it is hard to control 
chemically.   Tritium is probably a better source of betas for reliable light 
sources IMHO, since it is easier to control.  However, a little spent fuel may 
work pretty well, if processed to control release of its inert gas 
accumulations to a plasma reactor or pulse generator.

Do solar neutrinos affect nuclear decay on Earth?



Neutrinos are away left handed particles.

Experimental results are presented on laser-induced accelerated alpha-decay of 
Uranium-232 nuclei under laser exposure of Au nanoparticles in aqueous 
solutions of its salt. It is demonstrated that the decrease of alpha-activity 
strongly depends on the peak intensity of the laser radiation in the liquid and 
is highest at several terawatt per square centimeter. The decrease of 
alpha-activity of the exposed solutions is accompanied by the deviation of 
gamma-activities of daughter nuclides of Uranium-232 from their equilibrium 
values. Possible mechanisms of the laser influence on the alpha-activity are 
discussed on the basis of the amplification of the electric field of laser wave 
on metallic nanoparticles.

Laser exposure of suspension of either gold or palladium nanoparticles in 
aqueous solutions of UO2Cl2 of natural isotope abundance was experimentally 
studied. Picosecond Nd:YAG lasers at peak power from 1011 to 1013 W/cm2 at the 
wavelength of 1064 and 355 nm were used as well as a visible-range Cu vapor 
laser at peak power of 1010 W/cm2. The composition of colloidal solutions 
before and after laser exposure was analyzed using atomic absorption and gamma 
spectroscopy between 0.06 and 1 MeV range of photon energy. A real-time 
gamma-spectroscopy was used to characterize the kinetics of nuclear reactions 
during laser exposure. It was found that laser exposure initiated nuclear
