Chapter 7 Conclusion

By this time, I would imagine the scientific readers have already skipped the melodramatic portions, went straight to the facts and proved or disproved the presence of low energy nuclear reactions.

From a socialistic view, the "TECHNOLOGY" as purport will have a damning effect on society, but this is only page one. In the words of the great Paul Harvey, "What's on page two?"

Let's review the highlights. To create a fission event, transmutation, it is necessary for the starting isotope's nucleus to have magnetic properties. From this we can cause an alpha particle fission which in turn creates a new isotope. It takes little imagination to consider the endless possibilities, such as:

Deactivation of radioactive waste by restructuring decay rates by new particle development.

Development of instantaneously produced shorter life radioactive isotopes for radiology and biomedical treatments. Thus, no low-level radioactive waste generated from the medical industry.

Potential for a new form of primary and secondary energy sources to power houses, equipment, vehicles, etc.

Of course, the list will continue to grow as we learn more of the reaction's limitations. This is the ultimate differential between basic and applied research.

Throughout this text, I have made insinuations of potential economic changes in the future. The terminology, "precious metals," as defined by Webster is: Worth much more, rare; valuable. With the potential to synthesize in the "cold" (meaning low energy nuclear reactions) , the term "precious metals" may be substituted for "industrial metals." At this time, gold, silver and all the platinum group metals have been made through this thermal nuclear process.

A commercial venture in producing precious metals has commenced. Initial results have shown that for every ton of mineralized material processed, the costs of labor, energy and chemicals amount to less than a hundred dollars per kilogram.
Recovery of precious metals from this ton of material is approximately 5?10% of the ton by weight, or 100 kilograms. One can easily see the restructuring of wealth in the immediate future is not an overly optimistic view. The ability to produce precious metals at a fraction of the cost required in conventional mining will cause massive restructuring of wealth based on in?ground natural resources. For example, the in?ground reserves in Mexico will play a greater part in our industrial future than the depleted resources of South Africa.

It is really too early to predict now what the future holds for us. Time will tell.
