But atomic clocks do not work by radioactive decay. They work by
electron level transitions.
I think the change is due to Beta-atm drag. The earth drags the aether
as it rotates. The resulting change in electron resonance is
essentially a Doppler effect of the Beta-atm.

I actually recently purchased the HP 5071. The spare Cesium tube was
$10k.
I believe the polar flight *has* been done. I'll see if I can find a
reference.

Another interpretation of this data is that the half life
increases when the clocks are moved in the direction of the
Earth's axial spin, and the half life decreases when the
clocks are moved in the opposite direction.
