fwd [from Hal Fox http://www.pakrak.com/ine  <[e-mail]> ]

Dear Friend,

David mentioned my name in an email.  I am editor of New Energy News and
also of the Journal of New Energy (quarterly peer-reviewed technical
journal).

In case you are interested,  here is information about the transmutation
process that is under development sent to day in answer to a query from
Australia:

SUBJECT:  STABILIZATION OF SPENT-FUEL PELLETS FROM NUCLEAR PLANTS.

The following is a brief description of a new technology that has the
potential for transmuting
high-level, radioactive wastes into stable elements.  As you may know
the U.S. government is
planning to package, transport, and store high-level radioactive wastes
(currently scheduled for
Yucca Mountain in Nevada) for thousands of years.  Apparently, you are
faced with as similar
project in Australia.

We are developing an exciting new technology that can provide on-site
stabilization of these
high-level radioactive wastes ON-SITE without all the dangers of
packaging, transportation,
and long-term storage.  Although the process will not be cheap, it will
cost about the same as
ONE-YEAR'S transportation and storage costs.  The end result is the
savings of billions of
dollars.  Here is the story:

INTRODUCTION

High-density charge clusters are composed of several micron-sized
toroids of electrons (about
one billion electrons per micron).  Twenty to forty of these micron-size
entities form in a ring
having a diameter of about 20 microns [1].  Charge clusters are produced
in a variety of
ways:  lightning, in some liquids by field emission from
specially-prepared electrodes [2], in
low-pressure gases, and are usually present in many sparks and arcs.
Charge clusters can pick
up and transport positive ions.  The ratio of positive ions to electrons
is about one in a
million.  Therefore, the positive ions can be carried by the combined
charge clusters and
accelerated toward a positively-charged anode to attain about the same
velocity as would just
the electron cluster [3].  Five thousand volts will produce charge
cluster velocities of about
0.1 times the speed of light.  It is classical physics that positive
ions moving at one-tenth light
speed will produce nuclear reactions on a target.

TRANSMUTATION BY PARTICLE ACCELERATORS

It is well known that high-energy particle accelerators can be used to
transmute radioactive
materials [4].  When various methods of transmutation were investigated
by the National
Research Council (in Washington, D.C.) under U.S. Department Of Energy
contract, this new,
charge-cluster technology was not known to any of the investigators.
Current particle
accelerators are enormously expensive due to the necessity of using
millions of volts of
accelerating potential.  Therefore, the conclusion of the extensive
report [4] was that there is
no known method of handling high-level nuclear wastes more cost
effective than geologic
storage.  Our initial laboratory results indicate that some radioactive
wastes (especially liquid
wastes) can best be stabilized by the production of high-density charge
clusters using a special
zirconium reactor [5].  Of more importance is our latest analytical work
which shows that the
density of the protons (ionized, low-pressure hydrogen) created by and
transported by the
typical high-density charge clusters can be as high as one million times
the density of protons
in current particle accelerators.  If this analytical work is correct,
as we believe, then table-top
particle accelerators can be built and used to transmute high-level,
crushed, fuel pellets into
stable elements.

Here is the logic leading to our conclusions:  The typical electron
charge cluster has the
electron density that is about the same as atoms in a solid (Avogadro's
Number).  Although
the charge cluster carries only about one positive ion (e.g., proton)
for each 100,000 to
1,000,000 electrons, the resulting proton density is very much larger
than has been achieved
in standard proton-particle accelerators.  This is explained by two
phenomena:  First the
highly-dynamic flow of electrons around the periphery of the
charge-cluster toroid creates a
very high magnetic field which, in turn, keeps the electrons from
separating by their mutual
repulsion.  The high-negative charge attracts the positive ions and also
stabilizes a large
number of positive ions that would be normally also be mutually
repulsive.  The end result is
a much larger density of protons that can be carried to a target
material.  One paper has
provided substantial evidence for this type of nuclear reaction using a
target that was "loaded"
with hydrogen [6].

The use of the combined charge clusters (electrons carrying positive
ions) allows for the
combination to be accelerated to desired velocities with relative low
potentials.  Specifically,
5,000 volts will accelerate the combined cluster to about one-tenth the
speed of light.
Standard proton accelerators require about nine-million volts to achieve
the same velocity.
Therefore, our group is confident that a new type of particle
accelerator can be designed,
constructed, tested, and further developed for the stabilization of
spent-fuel pellets.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS
Trenergy, Inc. is a Utah corporation that is intensely interested in
resolving some of the
radioactive pollution problems.  We are communicating closely with Dr.
Champ in
Washington, D.C. who is working with the U.S. Congress and the Russian
DUMA.  Dr.
Champ has a strong interest in helping to clean up some of the
high-level wastes in Russia.
For example, there are several rusting hulks of nuclear submarines
stored in waters leading to
the Arctic Ocean.  Were all of this radioactivity to be released into
the Arctic waters, a health
hazard for all of the countries that obtain food from these waters would
result.  Trenergy is
seeking investment funds so that this new technology can be further
developed for the mutual
benefit of the Navy, the DOE, and, of course, all humanity.  We are
highly interested in
sharing information with and obtaining professional recommendations from
any qualified
entities for the further development of methods for stabilizing
radioactive wastes.

Back to Chernobyl

Lila Guterman
CROPS MAY ONE DAY be grown again in the contaminated soil surrounding the
Chernobyl nuclear plant, if the ideas of Spanish, Ukrainian and American
researchers pay off. The teams say that, over many years, simply mulching
crops could drastically reduce radioactive contamination.

Around the Chernobyl plant, an area about one and a half times the size o=
f
Luxembourg has been declared off-limits for habitation or cultivation. In
much of the exclusion zone, radioactivity is still measurable. It now pos=
es
little danger so long as it remains in the ground, but food grown in the
area is unfit to eat.

Caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, is the most important rad=
io-
nuclide left from Chernobyl's catastrophic explosion in 1986. Researchers
have been looking for ways to prevent it getting into crops planted in
contaminated soil. Using lots of potassium fertiliser is one proven metho=
d,
as plants take up the potassium ion from soil in preference to caesium,
preventing further caesium uptake.

Now, Teresa Sauras Yera, a biologist at the University of Barcelona, has
found that mulching, the method used by farmers and gardeners to conserve
moisture and prevent weeds growing, does the job more cheaply and easily.
With colleagues in Spain and at the Institute of Agricultural Radiology i=
n
Kiev, Sauras Yera added mulch to soil in the exclusion zone after plantin=
g
oat seeds over three successive years. One year, they covered the soil wi=
th
black polyethylene sheets. In the other two years, they used straw. Each
year, they saw a reduction of 30 to 40 per cent in the levels of
radio-caesium in the oats (Environmental Science & Technology, vol 33, p
882).

The researchers believe the mulch protects the plants' leaves and roots f=
rom
radioactive particles carried by rain and wind. Since mulching is cheap, =
it
could be used to limit radioactive contamination, she says. However,
radioactivity levels near Chernobyl are still far too high to make the oa=
ts
safe for consumption.

But mulching still leaves the radioactive elements in the soil--so attemp=
ts
are being made to remove it. Slavik Dushenkov of the US biotech firm
Phytotech says the fast-growing cannabis plant, the source of hemp fibre,
could be an answer. Phytotech and the Ukrainian Academy of Agricultural
Sciences in Glukhov have been growing hemp around Chernobyl. After
processing the plants, they obtained clean hemp fibre and plant remains r=
ich
in caesium. The contaminated remains were burnt in a sealed incinerator t=
hat
caught all the radioactive ash.

But so far, this method looks as if it could remove only about 1 per cent=
 of
the caesium, as much of it is tightly bound to soil particles. "Maybe any
one of the three processes will not be economic, but all put together may
provide significant benefits," Dushenkov says.

Subject: (abolition-usa) NYC area /  More NY Democrats Picketed on War

Since the bombing continues, so must the protests. These are actions
organized by a solid coaliton of groups in NYC. Later tonight or tomorrow we
will have reports of the dramatic arrest this morning at the US Mission to
the UN in New York City of a number of peace activists, in a demonstration
organized by the War Resisters League, Catholic Worker, etc.  . . . David
McReynolds

 For Immediate Release:
 Peace Activists to Picket Liberal Congressman Gary Ackerman

 A coalition of peace activists has targeted the district offices
 of Rep. Gary Ackerman for an anti-war demonstration next Friday,
 the 11th, at 4:30. Congressman Ackerman, who has previously
 called himself an anti-war activist, is supporting the use of
 ground troops in NATO's illegal war against Yugoslavia.

 The NATO bombings, ostensibly to save lives in Kosovo, have
 brought the opposite intended effect. Slobodon Milosevic enjoys
 greater popularity amongst Yugoslvian citizens, under siege of
 unseen attackers from the sky, and the Albanians in Kosovo have
 been expelled at a greater rate than ever before. The bombings
 have hurt not only Yugoslavia, but global democracy as well.
 NATO's unilateral actions violated the United Nations' Charter,
 and are war crimes. The United States' own involvement in the
 military campaign violates the Constitution and the War Powers
 Act.

 Rep. Ackerman, whose fifth Congressional district encompasses
 northern parts of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, is the Ranking
 Democrat of the International Relations Subcommittee on the
 Western Hemisphere and therefore in a position to stop US
 involvement in the war. Peace-loving constituents want to know
 why he has abandoned his commitment to peace, and why he is
 allowing US Constitutional democracy to be flouted.

 These constituents will protest outside of Ackerman's Bayside
 offices, on 218-14 Northern Blvd., starting at 4:30 on Friday,
 June 11. They will be handing out leaflets and performing street
 theater to raise awareness of Ackerman's hypocritical position,
 and to demand a face-to-face meeting with the Congressman.

 FOLLOWUP TO PREVIOUS PICKETS:
 Over the past week, delegations of peace activists met with Rep. Jerry
 Nadler and Rep. Joseph Crowley, who were picketed on May 14. Fuller reports
 on the meetings will be posted in the near future.

<<
 26 Arrested In Protest at White House
 Religious, Peace Groups Urge End to Bombing

 By Caryle Murphy
 Washington Post Staff Writer
 Friday, June 4, 1999; Page A29

 Twenty-six people were arrested yesterday after
 blocking an entrance to the White House to protest
 NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia.

 The demonstration, held by the newly formed National
 Coalition for Peace in Yugoslavia, was the first instance
 of planned civil disobedience against the war since the
 bombing campaign began, according to coalition
 spokesman Adam Eidinger.

 Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit
 and at least eight other clergy members were among
 those arrested. They knelt in front of the White House
 driveway and sang "We Shall Overcome" after their
 request to meet with President Clinton was denied. !

 The arrests followed an anti-war rally in Lafayette
 Square organized by the coalition, a group of 27
 religious and peace organizations opposed to the war.

 Standing before signs that read, "Peace in Yugoslavia
 Now," speakers from such groups as Pax Christi, DC
 Stop the War, American Friends Service Committee and
 Fellowship of Reconciliation denounced the NATO
 bombing.

 "Violence is never the answer to violence," Gumbleton
 told the demonstrators.

 Although Russian and Western envoys have presented
 Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic with a plan to
 end the Kosovo conflict, "the feeling is that as long as
 the bombing continues, [the protests are] going to have to
 continue," Eidinger said. "I just hea! rd President Clinton
 say . . . the bombing will continue, so nothing is stopped.
 The war's not over."

 The arrested protesters were released after being
 charged with violating the terms of their Lafayette
 Square demonstration permit, according to a U.S. Park
 Police spokesman.

 Some of those attending the rally walked there from the
 closed Yugoslav Embassy on California Street NW,
 where they left a letter for Milosevic demanding an end
 to Serbian attacks on Kosovo Albanians.

 The letter, which also was sent to Yugoslavia's mission
 to the United Nations, demanded "an immediate halt to
 further brutalities against Albanian Kosovars that you
 alone can order."

 The coalition is holding another demonstration at noon
 tomorrow that will start at the Vietnam Veterans
 Memorial and include a march to the Pentagon, Eidinger
 said. He said buses are bringing protesters from 28
 states.

Subject: (abolition-usa) June 21st World Peace and Prayer Day Ceremony

On behalf of Global Peace Walk2000 three of us are travelling to Costa Rica
to take part in the June 21st World Peace and Prayer Day Ceremony there
conducted by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, the 19th generation keeper of the
Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of Peace http://www.worldpeaceday.com/1999

We ask you to do what you can to arrange in your location a coordinated
event to help echo the prayer for "Global Peace Now!" as a universal human
resolve.  Your local events in conjunction with this ongoing worldwide
global peace campaign can be reported to that website.

The time has come when we must all issue this cry to the heavens in whatever
way we can before it is too late.  Perhaps even, as suggested in the post
copied below from Gene Johnson, a mass global campaign is in order to shout
this resolve from the rooftops and windows of homes around the world as one
voice for global peace.

Please do what you can to focus on this date of the summer solstice this
year, the day of maximum light, to bring this message to fruition.

Our thanks to the World Summit on Peace and Time for their support in
enabling us to travel to Costa Rica for this ceremony and to take part in
their event there at the University for Peace, June22-27, in support of the
13Moon Calendar Change Global Peace Movement.  http://www.earthascending.com

Thank you very much,

but you have hit the nail on the head with your suggestion.  If you can help

Attn: Global Response QRN Members:

Here is the text of an op-ed piece, based on Global Response Action #3/99
(No New Oil Exploration / Artic Ocean).  Please use this as-is or edit
it, and send it to your local and regional newspapers.  Feel free to sign=
 it
with your own name.  This is a great way to generate more public interest
and activism on this issue.  We need to influence the Boise Cascade Board=

Thanks for EVERYTHING you can do to help on this! -- Paula
