As Mike Melich put it, "what we do to these cathodes would make the angels weep." F&P sent all of theirs back to Johnson Matthey, and they did not know what happened to them after that. (That was part of the agreement.) The people at the ENEA are compiling an extensive database of the material characteristics of cathodes they make. I assume they have to use destructive testing in the end. Ohmori had a box full of them. I have no idea what happened to them. There are about a thousand used cathodes at the U. Missouri SKINR lab. I think that is how many they said. Many produced heat. I do not know much about what they are doing with them. A lot of them fall apart, so they examine them to figure out why. The follow-up analysis of the cathode is as important as the experiment itself. - Jed
