This Kindle book is pretty good.

THORIUM: energy cheaper than coal

"Most “journalists” can’t write past a 3rd grade level ..."

Absolutely CodeToad (I was once a Code Toad!). I couldn't tell if this was an internally generated pitch for funds. Back in the day, when making the unfortunately political pitch for NSF funding for my group, the person writing the proposal used the convenient antinuclear shibboleth, so I bristle when I see it. I was surrounded by some of the more successful propagandists, now rewarded with titles in Washington. But the physics - I haven't read the paper but worked in the isotope research field - sounds reasonable.

One last comment: Noting that the patent was applied for 6 years ago, and the “embodiments” described sound like the description of a lab experiment, I’d guess that the techniques described are in use today, or partially in use. There were other applications implied, such as for medical isotope production, another big source of royalty income.

Someone described patents as license to sue. I recall that someone applied for, and was granted a patent for the fast Fourier transform. My guess is that this group in San Diego, was doing due diligence and applying for patents for a process they were already using, or might use, in case a competitor tried to sell the technology to the Navy, or whomever, in which case they can claim royalties.

An actual patent by people with full disclosure.
***Take that up with the USPTO. It would seem they don’t want to aggravate the USNavy this time around.

[Kevmo]

yes

Sounds good to me. But... can you put a thorium reactor in your basement.

“These terrible nuclear industry disasters require it… We Demand It from the Navy COLD FUSION NOW!”

Lost me right there.

But it’s better to end up with a product that is radioactive for a half life of 10 days than the original half life of 10,000 years.

goin’ on the ping list, which is at the bottom of my home page

Lost me right there.
***Of course it did. You were looking for a place to get lost.

That was my first thought. How has this been used over the past 6 years, or has it amounted to nothing? Too bad the article poster usually doesn't do anything more than copy and paste from cold fusion blogs.

***That would still be far more than you have ever done.
