Nuclear Remediation Technologies
Modifying the Half-Life of Radioactive Isotopes

Index of technologies that neutralize or mitigate radioactive waste.  With such technologies developed, nuclear power once again becomes attractive, because the spent fuel no longer is a hot issue.  U.S. DOE knows of this technology but chooses to not promote it for some reason that they are not disclosing.

Proven Technologies

• Brown's Gas - Brown's Gas neutralizes radioactive waste.

  • Canadian Atomic Commission
  • has now been officially proven (in Canada) - "in seconds, easily and extremely inexpensively. This neutralization treatment can take place right at the nuclear reactor so there is no need to transport or store nuclear waste."
  • Neutralize radioactive waste [alt] - Account of Yull Brown giving a demonstration to US Congressman, Berkley Bedel of California in 1999, who contacted the U.S. Department of Energy who sent five scientists to witness the same.
  • Neutralization of Radioactive waste Video - Provided with NDA for a fee with George Wiseman's "opportunity package."  The video presents "Proof that Brown's Gas neutralizes radioactive waste."
  • Radioactive isotopes can be made completely stable and neutral - "has been demonstrated at every show on 2001 Technology Tour Show" (Re: Dennis Lee)
  • neutralizes radioactive waste - comment in Brown's Gas conference brochure (2002)
  • neutralizes radioactive waste in seconds - conference report (April 2002) (Second copy)
• Cold Fusion - has the potential to neutralize radioactive waste

  • TESTIMONY OF BONNIE BONNEAU - "There is a possibility that cold fusion might neutralize radioactive waste in a short period of time, but the DOE has blocked experiments exploring this possibility."
  • "Cold Fusion (now called Low Energy Nuclear Reaction, LENR or Chemical Assisted Nuclear Reactions, CANR) experimental reports ... confirm deactivation when radioactive isotopes are used in the solutions."  (Larry Geer; Is Yucca Mountain the Only Solution to Radioactive Waste?; geerlag@cs.c*om)

• 3/31/98: NEW WASTE PROCESSING DEVICE INSTALLED (source)
  Scientists at the Institute of Catalysis, led by Professor Zemfir, have developed a device that neutralizes radioactive waste through flame-free incineration in a catalyzer.  Capable of incinerating 50 metric tons of waste annually, the device was installed today at the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrate Plant.  According to A. Kostin, the factory's deputy technical director, "the device is based on a catalytic converter that provides low temperatures for the oxidation process," thus reducing the amount of nitrous oxides produced.  Experiments have confirmed the method's efficiency and environmental safety.

• Cecil Baumgartner, in 1964, demonstrated that decay rates could be increased in a positive voltage field at critical temperatures to where all radioactive emissions were complete in nanoseconds. (Benedict)
• Lord Rutherford reported on April 28, 1932 at a meeting of the Royal Society, that J.D. Crockcroft and E T.S. Watson in the Cavendish Laboratory had successfully demonstrated the accelerated release of radioactive energy from lithium elements and other light elements. (Geer)
• Segre and Wiegart established decay rate mutability in 1949. (Geer)
• Radioactivity gets fast-forward - Scientists in Japan have persuaded a radioactive material to decay significantly faster than normal. (Nature; reported in ZPEnergy; Sept. 23, 2004)
• The author of this page (SDA) knows of at least two other technologies under development that neutralize radioactive waste, but which he is not yet at liberty to publish.

Scuttlebutt

Aug. 28, 2004

The head of the U.S. Department of Energy recently testified before Congress saying that the only solution to nuclear waste was to bury it in Yucca mountain.  The DOE is aware of many of the technologies mentioned on this page.  Why they do not promote the development of these solutions is up for speculation.  There is huge money in burying nuclear waste.  Neutralizing the waste is must more cost effective -- and good for the planet.
