It has been suggested that the means for doing this in the case of the Hafnium isotope is to elevate the metastable nucleus energy to a higher level (via x-ray bombardment), from which new level it rapidly decays. Note however that Rossi has also claimed that other elements seem to work to some extent too, just not as well as Nickel. >- search for nuclear isomers of Nickel or other elements. > Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
