Bob, The experimentally-determined charge distribution of a neutron shows an outer "shell" of negative charge and thus the neutron should be polarizable. Had this been known early on, when the neutron was considered to be a proton + electron, I think the battle for that view would never have been

Speaking of neutron identity in the context of Widom/Larsen (ultra low momentum neutron) or in the context of Meulenberg dense hydrogen (DDL) – which may be identical if the truth be known… ;-} … there is the possibility that an advanced and small fission design could benefit greatly from an

Jones— IT’S JUST HAND WAVING. Fission reactions with U and the like are nasty—hard to manage—processes. The high energy gammas and the variety of fission products are the problem not to mention the possibility of runaway reactions. There are NO silk purses that will come out of those sows

Understandably, a lot of folks in the USA are against nuclear fission energy - no matter what. It is a no-win effort to argue the good points - since the high profile accidents like Fukushima are the only factor which is considered by many here. Low cost is no longer assured. Yet - over the

Robin-- I agree with your assessment of potential fission reactions. A tuned magnetic dipole or quadrupole EM signal may give two Al-27 nuclei from Fe or Ni natural metal. No neutrons is a key objective for any new fission reactor design IMHO. Bob Cook Sent from Mail
