Don't forget that the SPAWAR >(apparent) beta decay tracks occurred with plain hydrogen, as well as >deuterium. [snip] Just muddying the waters again:- Pb can at least in theory alpha decay to Hg. The average decay energy would be about 0.6 MeV (varies depending on isotope). Perhaps "electro-shock therapy" is stimulating the decay? Regards,
