Possibly also, but I see no reason why WL are wrong about lightning. I was simply pointing out that though they may well be correct about neutron production in lightning, I suspect they are wrong about neutron production in a lattice. [snip] Furthermore, there is also the possibility of creating spallation neutrons (especially from D in the water) in lightning, which is essentially a large linear accelerator. >>Lightning contains many high velocity electrons, which are not present in a >>metal lattice.
