The Vulcan laser, housed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, has enabled Prof Ledingham and his team to use nothing more than the focused energy contained in light to excite the nucleus of the iodine 129 isotope, with a radioactive half life of 15.7 million years. When hit with laser light the isotope becomes totally inert and safe to handle in less than an hour. Techno-Barf.
Show me the transitions.

They then focused the laser on venture capital.

53I
129(1/2life=15Myrs) + enough laser E to knock out a neutron(>2Mev) ->
53I
128(1/2life=1/2hr)+ P,e, and anti neutrino.
53I128(1/2life=1/2hr) -> 54Xe128(1/2life=1/2hr)+ beta and other products.
I suppose...

Color me skeptical, but I'm willing to learn/read more.
Marked for looking article(s) up later tonight.
