In reply to Jones Beene's message of Wed, 4 Jan 2017 13:14:21 -0800: Hi, [snip] >Even if neutrons were required for the most energetic kind of >weaponization, dense hydrogen is similar enough to the neutron that it >could substitute -- and in the case of Holmlid - exceed by orders of >magnitude the gain from the nuclear fission chain reaction. > With dense H, you may need to take into account that tunneling takes time, and usually quite a bit of time. By "taking time", I mean that frequently many attempts are required before one is successful, so the time between successful attempts can be long. This tends to work as a wet blanket for explosions.
