What's the real difference between your transmuton and Hydrinohydride? Consider also that a Hydrino molecule would also nicely "fill the bill", supplying the required 2 protons in one hit, and being essentially neutral such as to possibly allow it to penetrate the electron shells of the Fe, much as would a neutron. Furthermore, the two shrunken electrons allow for energy dissipation via IC.

Considerable energy release doesn't necessarily result in radioactivity. As you so astutely point out Fe56 + 2P = Ni58, which is stable. In fact one might argue that the planetoid between Mars and Jupiter was blown apart by the energy release. [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[email protected]>
