True. Is this paper available yet? Assuming the measurements are correct- how does this isotope benefit the organism unless it is to detoxify water from cobalt-60 which is common in reactors? The problem there would be conservation of spin, and or the non-existence of a viable or known reaction pathway, if the reaction is supposed to involve an accelerated alpha decay, for instance. The two papers I have looked at are too light on this kind of necessary detail to make the prima facie case. Can you recommend a convincing paper from the LENR-CANR site? Jones
