Jed,
Reifenschweiler effect is the oddball where radioactivity of
tritium actually declined while loaded in titanium by 28%. Most of the
anomalous claims in this field have been for accelerated radioactive decay or
excess heat. Anomalous cooling and delaying of the half life of radioactive
gas is much less pronounced and less exciting then than the far more numerous
claims for anomalous heat and accelerated decay.
The sampling method of a Geiger counter obviously only gives an average, so I
would point out that decay acceleration due to nano geometry will normally have
greater affect than retardation. Both acceleration and retardation of decay
are properties of nano geometry and IMHO must occur at the same time - It is
only the physical properties of the gas and the size and shape of the regions
[cavity vs outer walls of the cavity] that determine which type of decay
predominates or if they simply cancel out. The cavity is also the obvious
favorite for throughput and diffusion but closed cavity formations with thin
walls would be an easy example of where Reifenschweiler region could dominate
over acceleration.

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:Reifenschweiler effect rediscovered in Japan
It keeps popping up! They rediscovered it while treating contaminated soil and
other radwaste from the Fukushima disaster. See:
