Radioactivity Neutralization Methods A portfolio of radioactivity neutralization methods has been accumulated after two decades of research and collaboration with numerous inventors – a few of whom may be among the world’s most creative. Some of these inventions could possibly be re-engineered as new power sources. An ideal radioactivity neutralization method satisfies all these requirements:
Other energy researchers could possibly suggest radioactivity neutralization methods. Tom Valone’s Integrity Research Institute (see http://users.erols.com/iri/), http://www.newenergytimes.com/, Sterling Allan’s http://FreeEnergyNews.com/, http://www.infinite-energy.com/, Jerry Decker’s http://escribe.com/science/keelynet/, Bruce Meland’s http://www.electrifyingtimes.com/, and Russia’s http://www.faraday.ru have all accumulated large databases of reports and comments on energy and radioactivity neutralization methods. Robert A. Nelson, P.O. Box 19250, Jean, Nevada 89019 amassed 10,000 pages on energy inventions and other scientific and technological subjects in his www.rexresearch.com – the contents of which are available on a $13 CD. Development and commercial manufacturing of a proven new radioactivity neutralization method requires competent people, a doable business plan, integrity, and sufficient money to carry the enterprise until it reaches profitability. Each radioactivity neutralization method may be burdened with the baggage of its own unique little tale. Some inventors may be brilliant, of course, but are otherwise incompetent businesspeople. Development may be hampered by unethical investors or associates, an inventor’s illness or death, or suppression by existing energy industries and the tangle-footed US federal government. Shortcomings in the invention itself may need further research to be mitigated or eliminated, if possible. New energy sources and radioactivity neutralization methods typically do not qualify for financial support from venture capital, large corporations restricted to operating within their chosen missions, charitable foundations, and governments unaware of or even hostile to unconventional energy sources. Some state governments have chosen to encourage innovation by mitigating losses by private investors. For example, Nevada recently started its Nevada Capital Investment Corp. (see https://nevadatreasurer.gov/NCIC.htm) with $50,000,000 in initial funding. Please respect the intellectual property rights of the current copyright/patent holders pertaining to these inventions by obtaining their written permission before using or selling their inventions. Note that the credibility, practicality, safety and accessibility of these methods vary.

A photograph is shown of an atomic bomb core’s plutonium ring. Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions for Nuclear Waste Disposal – Ultra-low momentum neutrons produced by low-energy nuclear reactions can transmute nuclear wastes. Transmutations of Nuclear Waste – Extensive survey of methods of transmuting nuclear waste. Dr. Radha Roy’s Transmutation Process was Viciously Suppressed – Dr. Radha R. Roy was Professor Emeritus Nuclear Physics. Professor Roy invented a process for cost-effectively transmuting radioactive nuclear isotopes to harmless, stable isotopes. Radioactive elements all have too many neutrons. Roy’s process transmutes these unstable isotopes to stable ones by knocking out the extra neutrons by bombarding them with photons (produced as x-rays) in a high-powered electron linear accelerator. A photon is a football-shaped packet of electromagnetic waves with a content of energy equal to Planck’s constant times the frequency of the waves. Visible light comprises of photons with a range of frequencies with energy contents within which they can stimulate, but not over or under-stimulate, an eye’s light receptors. Photons of far higher frequencies have sufficient energy to alter nuclei. After Professor Roy refused an offer of $5 million to shelve his process he began receiving death threats.
Ace Hoffman explains how so fiendishly nasty is spent nuclear fuel. U.S. Government’s Vicious Suppression of Recycling Nuclear Waste – Santilli’s method consists of certain resonating means which stimulate the decay of nuclei which are naturally unstable. Once decayed in a radiation protective environment (such as the pools of current nuclear power plants), the resulting debris are constituted by light, natural and stable elements, which, as such, do not constitute a threat to society. However, implementation of his method has been viciously suppressed by the U.S. Government. Energy and Radioactivity Neutralization Invention Suppression Cases – Several dozen cases are recorded in www.padrak.com/vesperman of energy invention suppression by the fossil fuel companies and their allies in the U.S. Government. A few cases have also been recorded of suppression of radioactivity neutralization methods, Who are the invention suppression perpetrators? A Las Vegas-based Nevada corporation, Global Intelligence Network, has been tentatively identified as such with an obvious link to the very highest executives of Middle Eastern oil companies protecting their enormous oil revenues from disruptive energy inventions. Ex-CIA Agent Confesses to Suppressing Energy and Medical Inventions – Energy researcher receives a phone call from an ex-CIA agent who confesses to suppressing energy and medical inventions. The Nuclear Power Industry Doesn’t Make Mistakes, Right? – Wrong! The nuclear power industry’s history includes stupid mistakes and gross carelessness as well as brilliant engineering of the commercial marketplace’s most complicated and costliest product – nuclear power reactors. Energy Subsidy Lessons from the Nuclear Industry – The U.S. Government heavily subsidizes the mining and processing of uranium into fresh nuclear power reactor fuel. Through the Price-Anderson Act, federal taxpayers would bear most of the liability cost of a catastrophic American reactor malfunction ala Chernobyl and Fukushima. Finally, by refusing to develop methods of neutralizing radioactive materials, the U.S. Government has assumed the huge long-term cost of storing nuclear waste. Is Our Understanding of Fukushima Backwards? – Engineers and other professionals debate the safety and health issues of nuclear power and Fukushima in particular. One memorable quote: “… TEPCO admits they were advised that a tsunami could inundate the plant and they went shopping for another opinion!!!” Stunning New Report on USS Reagan Radiation – The $4.3 billion nuclear powered aircraft carrier US Ronald Reagan sailed within five miles of Fukushima after the March 11, 2011 accident. Serious ill effects due to radioactive fallout have allegedly since been suffered by many of the Reagan’s 5,500 crew members. The Reagan may have to be scrapped due to thorough uncleanable radiation contamination. Government Plan to Ship, Store Nuclear Waste is Insane – Storing nuclear waste at a Yucca Mountain repository would be suicidal. ‘Neutron embrittlement’ of any and all types of container materials would eventually cause catastrophic failure and release of the deadly heavy ion nuclear waste materials. Entombment of the Fukushima Reactors – Use 3D/4D printing to build entombments of the Fukushima reactors in layers of hemp concrete, lead, and tungsten with a rounded edges hemp plastic exterior. Plant hemp and radiation eating mushrooms. Professor Keshe Claims He has Solution to Fukushima – Professor Keshe’s video announces his technology to solve the Fukushima crisis and other gross contamination problems. It includes how to make a nanotech superconductor material from junk. Reprocessing and Transmutation of High-Level Nuclear Waste – University of Illinois-Engineering website is a colorfully illustrated primer on radioactive waste treatment. Its topics include composition of spent nuclear fuel, reprocessed radioactive waste, high-level liquid radioactive waste, French vitrification program, ceramic wasteforms – ‘synthetic rock’, and the realities of transmutation of radioactive waste. Environmental Heat Engines for Emergency Nuclear Fuel Cooling – Every century or two an intense solar storm can shut down power grids for months. Without cooling pumps, nuclear reactors and spent fuel storage pools would overheat – releasing catastrophic radiation. An environmental heat engine can utilize a reactor’s own natural low-grade heat to drive an auxiliary generator until the local power grid is eventually restored. Capacitive Step-Down Transformer – The capacitive step-down transformer is a less costly substitute for inductive transformers. They are inherently capacitive amperage limiting. So therefore they are immune to short circuits caused by solar storms, grid blackouts, etc. From Russian Warheads to Cheap American Nuclear Electricity – MIT physicist persuades Moscow to sell 20,000 Russian bombs to the United States for conversion into nuclear reactor fuel. United Kingdom Nuclear Industry’s Financial and Safety Nightmare – New nuclear power plants can not be built and operated in the United Kingdom nor in the United States without very, very generous public subsidies. Existing nuclear generators and nuclear waste storage and processing facilities are extremely costly to operate and maintain and pose significant safety hazards. Energy Strategies in Global Warming: Is Nuclear Energy the Answer? – The dismal consequences of global warming are detailed. Nuclear electricity is way overpriced against all other methods of generating electricity. Unfortunately, you cannot just shut down nuclear stations and walk away. You have to keep the safety systems, including core-cooling, up and running for as long as the fuel is in the core. And then, when the spent fuel is extracted, you have to make multi-billion dollar decisions what to do with it. Terroists can easily extract plutonium from mixed oxide fuel. Several dozen reactors in different countries are or have already been converted to using tons of mixed oxide fuel. Only 25 kilograms of plutonium is needed to make two nuclear bombs. That nuclear energy is the answer to global warming is a myth. Geomelting of Radioactive Waste – ’Geomelting’ involves mixing nuclear waste with soil or other "glass-formers" in large, lined metal tanks. The mix – 20 per cent waste and 80 per cent soil – is heated through two graphite electrodes at temperatures of up to 3,000 degrees C. The molten substance is then allowed to cool and forms a large glass block that is harder than concrete. This type of vitrification would last longer and be slightly cheaper than others. However, the ceramic would still eventually break down from neutron bombardment – leaving to future generations to clean up the mess. Areva to Add Uranium Recovery Operation – A liquid-like form of carbon dioxide called ‘supercritical’ and other common chemicals are used to extract and purify enriched uranium from incinerated low-level radioactive waste. Israeli Discovery may Convert Radioactive Waste into Clean Energy – Plasma gasification melting technology combines high temperatures and low-radioactive energy to transform waste. The waste disposal reactor does not harm the environment and leaves no surface water, groundwater, or soil pollution in its wake. Plasma torches break down the waste; carbon leftovers are gasified, and inorganic components are converted to solid waste. The remaining vitrified material is inert and can be cast into molds to produce tiles, blocks or plates for the construction industry. Excess generated electricity is sold into the local grid. Methods to Influence Radioactivity Decay – During 10 hours of cavitation process in a 5-kilowatt cavitator a 20% decrease of radioactivity was measured in the liquid material and around the device also. Complete neutralization of radioactivity is expected with 100 hours of operation. Theory is controlled disturbance of aether density influences radioactivity decay. Tests on Superconductor Gravitational Effects – The level of radioactivity of any radioactive material can be reduced by placement in the area of an artificial gravity field. Alexander Frolov’s References – Russian energy researcher and publisher Alexander Frolov lists references for his radioactivity neutralization experiments and other publications. Large Finned Containers Buried in Deepest Ocean Trenches – Whatever you want to get rid of (including radioactive waste) are put into special large containers that have fins. These are put on container ships and sent to the trenches (like the Mariana Trench). The ocean trenches are really big cracks in the mantel of the earth that are filled with mud. The containers are dumped over the side and "fly" into the mud to a depth of about 200 feet. Over the next 1000 years they are sucked into the subduction zone and the molecules are literally torn apart in the molten layer between the earth's crust and the earth’s center. But what happens to the containers when they don’t sink far enough, are blocked by a boulder in the mud, or even not sink into the mud at all? Will the radioactive waste eventually overheat and escape into the ocean? Hawkings’ Generator of Cold Electricity – Kenneth Hawkings’ generator produces a spark of 6 to 8-inch white spark of cold electricity 4 inches in diameter between the two brass balls. Cold electricity is not measurable with ordinary voltmeters and ammeters since it strangely has no electrons. However, cold electricity can power lamps, etc. Totally different applications could result from the observation that materials inserted in a spark of cold electricity sometimes transmute to elements of higher density. Remediating Nuclear Waste with Electron-Captured Protons with Significant Net Energy Gain – Using high-density charge cluster accelerators, 10-20 times as much energy can be produced by remediating radioactivity emissions from stockpiles of nuclear waste products as they originally produced. Dematerialization Devices A, B, C and D Using Highest Powered Positive Ions Ever – Four types of dematerializers make it possible to transmute any radioactive waste into its lowest possible harmless form by passing it through a dematerialization spherical boundary – an extremely active boson field kinetics area of plasmatic surface tension/ extreme heat. The dematerializers have the ability to heat the waste hotter than the sun – to the point where anything is converted into its lowest form. Nuclear waste, primarily strontiums, will annihilate themselves since their almost unnaturally huge dent in space/time dissolves to near a low format environment. Transmutation with Lasers – Transmutation of radioactive waste has been demonstrated in principle by using the Vulcan, the world’s most powerful laser, to convert iodine-129, an isotope that remains active for millions of years, into iodine-128, which decays in minutes. A picosecond laser pulse was fired at a gold target. The intense energy of the laser beam blasted the gold atoms into a plasma of free nuclei and electrons, which then emit gamma rays as they pass through the rest of the target. These intense gamma rays (which actually are photons with extremely high frequencies/energies) collide with the atoms of iodine-129, shaking the nuclei so violently that a neutron is squeezed out. Hopefully in some years lasers will become powerful and energy efficient enough to enable transmutation with lasers to become practical. Flame-Free Incineration of Radioactive Waste in a Catalyzer – Flame-free incineration in a catalyzer can neutralize 50 metric tons of radioactive waste annually. Implosion Machine can Annihilate High-Level Nuclear Waste – The implosion machine is an electric arc welder which is modified to duplicate nature's ball lightning. The circuit makes and then breaks a pure direct electrical current flowing between two electrodes. The electromagnetic energy field around the current completely collapses which causes an implosion. An object held between the two electrodes disappears in a manner similar to quasars or black holes swallowing matter. Imploded matter is possibly converted into "dark matter" which is not of the elements as we know them. List of 60 Patents Worldwide for Transmutation of Radioactive Elements to Nonradioactive – List of 60 transmutation patents. Method, System and Apparatus for Conditioning Electromagnetic Potentials, Fields and Waves to Treat and Alter Matter – This invention exploits the fact that all electromagnetic fields, potentials, and waves are composed of more fundamental electromagnetic structures. To directly engineer spacetime and induce desired changes in matter – specifically the mass-energy of the body dielectric, in all parts and dynamics – the invention uses and applies these more fundamental electromagnetic structures, which constitute curvatures of spacetime capable of directly affecting and changing matter according to the exact pattern and dynamics of the internal structures. Barker’s Patented Radioactivity Remediation Method – The rate of decay of the radioactivity of radioactive materials is greatly accelerated and the materials are thereby decontaminated at a rate much faster than normal. The radioactive materials are placed within the sphere or terminal of a Van de Graaff electrostatic generator and allowing them to be subjected to the electrical potential of the generator, such as in the range of 50 kilovolts to 500 kilovolts, for at least a period of 30 minutes or more. When a negative potential is applied to alpha-emitting radioactive material, enhanced alpha decay of the radioactive material results. The energy of the alpha decay particles is captured and converted to thermal energy. Keller Catalytic Process – Jack Keller’s catalytic process reduces by 60% to 70% the radioactivity of radioactive substances. The Keller process mimics the action of a volcano on a small scale. Radioactive material is mixed with a proprietary pyro-chemical fluxing compound in a can. The mixture is ignited with a propane torch. The catalytic reaction turns the mixture into a boiling, sputtering molten liquid looking like it might erupt magma. Keller nicknamed the process "volcano in a can". A bonus to the process is left over beads of strategic metals in the bottom of the can. DOE in 1992 Witnessed 96% Reduction of Radioactivity of Cobalt-60 with Brown’s Gas – Professor Yull Brown invented and advocated the unusual gaseous fuel known as ‘Brown's gas’. This gas – on its face a stochiometric mixture of monatomic hydrogen and oxygen obtained by electrolysis of water – has unquestioned practical applications in welding and metal cutting. It can also denature radioactive elements. An experiment involved the treatment with Brown’s gas of a sample of the radioactive isotope cobalt-60. A Geiger counter’s reading dropped from 1000 counts per minute to 40 counts per minute – a reduction in radioactivity of 96% that was witnessed by some Department of Energy officials. Their clumsy explanation of their denial that the reduction of radioactivity was due to Brown’s gas was found to be ludicrous. Brown’s Gas and Radioactivity – Our bodies have evolved to be able to handle constant light doses of radioactivity which we get just by living on the planet. It’s a really good idea to have potassium iodine in your emergency preparedness kit Americans are largely unaware of the multiple nuclear accidents (and sometimes deliberate release of radioactivity for 'experimental' interest) that have occurred on or near their own continent. Large areas have been irradiated similar to what Japan is now experiencing and the public (because American news media is suppressed) are uninformed. Most materials are radioactive because the electrons have been stripped off the molecules; the nucleus then ejects particles of various kinds (radioactivity) to try to 'balance' the 'weight' (and transmute to a lighter, glasslike, material). Somehow, the molecules are able to use the special energy in the Brown’s gas to complete this transmutation in seconds (instead of millennia), when the material is molten and given the shock of the thermite explosion. Thus, Brown’s gas works well to neutralize CONCENTRATED nuclear waste, like spent fuel rods or decommissioned warheads, but is practically useless at remediation of radioactive materials that have dispersed into the general environment.
Positive side effects of the machine’s operation would be reverse aging adults to young adulthood, backing diseases out of existence, reversing all decay and pollution, providing a new means of food preservation, and disarmament in the active footprint of the machine. E.Coli Cleans Up Nuclear Waste Cheaply, Efficiently – E. coli bacteria effectively breaks down phytic acid (a phosphate storage material found in seeds) and releases the phosphate molecules, which bind to uranium to create a uranium phosphate precipitate. The precipitate can be harvested to recover uranium, and voila – no more nuclear waste. Russian Process Uses Liquid Lead Bismuth to Trigger Transforming in the Form of Neutrons – Russian process uses liquid lead bismuth to trigger transforming in the form of neutrons. No working machine existed as of 1998. ‘Hutchison Effect’ for Neutralizing Both Radioactive Waste and Dispersed Radioactivity – ‘Hutchison effect” via a specially designed Hutchison-Lazaryan electronic frequency generator can neutralize radioactive waste and also excess radioactivity dispersed over an area of several square miles and maybe up to within a radius of 75 miles. A Cool Solution to Radioactive Waste Disposal – The rate of fusion reactions had been observed to be significantly greater when the nuclei were encased in metals than when they were inserted into insulators, and that the effect is enhanced at lower temperatures. This effect could be explained in simple terms by assuming that the free electrons in a metal act like the electrons in a plasma. The lower the temperature of the metal, the closer the free electrons get to the radioactive nuclei. These electrons accelerate positively charged particles towards the nuclei, thereby increasing the probability of fusion reactions. This method of radioactive waste disposal is based on the realization that the reverse reaction might also occur, and that free electrons could enhance the ejection of positively charged particles from a nucleus. This would reduce the half-lives of α-decay or β+-decay, (a β+ is a positively charged electron) and increase half-lives for processes involving negatively charged electrons (which are repelled by the free electrons within the metal), i.e. β–-decay and electron capture. Piezonuclear Reactions in Solutions Cavitated by Ultrasound – Ultrasonic cavitation of doubly distilled deionized water produces abnormal changes in the concentration of the elements. Ultrasonic cavitation of solutions of iron produces pulses of neutrons without gamma emissions above the background level. Ultrasonic cavitation of solutions of a radionuclide caused a decrease of the radioactivity obtained more quickly than is the case for the natural decay. Patience Pays Off with Methanol for Uranium Bioremediation – Adding organic molecules can positively affect the bioremediation of uranium, converting it to a solid mineral and sequestering it within the sediment. GE Hitachi Plans to Turn Nuclear Waste into Fuel – GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s process separates nuclear waste into three streams: Waste material that needs to be stored underground for a few hundred years (vs. thousands of years for standard nuclear waste), uranium that can be used in deuterium uranium reactors, and a mixture of transuranic elements (plutonium and neptunium) that can be used as fuel in nuclear reactors that use molten sodium as a coolant. China Finds Way to Extend Life of Nuclear Fuel 60 Times – The Chinese Government has announced that have made a secret breakthrough in nuclear fuel reprocessing technology that would increase the reuse rates of nuclear fuel by 60 times. Nuclear Fusion-Fission Hybrid Could Contribute to Carbon-Free Energy Future – Radioactive waste would be destroyed using a fusion-fission hybrid reactor – the centerpiece of which is a high-power Compact Fusion Neutron Source (CFNS) made possible by a crucial invention. The CFNS would provide abundant neutrons through fusion to a surrounding fission blanket that uses transuranic waste as nuclear fuel. The fusion-produced neutrons augment the fission reaction, imparting efficiency and stability to the waste incineration process. Accelerator-Driven Transmutation of Nuclear Waste – The Department of Energy studies the application of accelerators to transmutation of nuclear waste. Mark Porringa’s Candidate Techniques for Clean-Up of Nuclear Waste – Mark Porringa provides brief descriptions of nine alternative, peer-reviewed techniques as candidates for the global clean-up of nuclear waste. Photoremediation – Dr. Paul Brown’s photoremediation process involves the use of a high-energy electron beam impinged on a target which in turn produces a monochromatic gamma radiation that is tuned to induce photofission and photoneutron reactions in the target material causing rapid neutralization of radioactive isotopes. The efficiency claimed exceeds 500% due to the high cross-section reactions in the giant dipole resonance region. The 10 million electron-volt (MeV) electron beam produces typical fission reactions in the 200 MeV range effectively turning high-level solid wastes such as spent fuel into an energy source. Dr. Paul Brown’s approach offers several advantages: No need for extensive chemical pre-processing and the energy required to effect transmutation is greatly reduced. No new technology needs to be developed, yet the engineering of such a photon reactor must be completed, and it could itself become a practical method for generating power. Extensive details on Brown’s photon reactor are available in a separate “Radioactivity Neutralization with Paul Brown’s Gamma Ray Method” in www.padrak.com/vesperman.
Best results for radioactive liquids have been demonstrated in the processing of thorium for a 30-minute period and achieving a reduction of radioactivity of about 90% from a liquid sample. ZIPP Fusion – The ZIPP fusion process induces a wide variety of fusion reactions, resulting from the radial compression of individual diatomic and other simple molecules dissolved or suspended in a light water, carbon arc electrolysis cell. A variety of other cell configurations are envisioned. The process appears to produce only stable isotopes, which should therefore make it capable of stabilizing a wide variety of radioactive waste materials. The theory on the process draws from condensed charge phenomena, Brown’s gas implosion, cavitation bubble collapse and sonoluminesence – all variations of the Casimir effect – which is believed to cohere the zero-point energy of quantum vacuum fluctuations. Transmutations using variations of this basic process may be applicable to a wide variety of nuclear wastes and appears capable of operating with an efficiency exceeding 100%. The process is very simple and inexpensive to develop. RIPPLE Fission – The RIPPLE fission process utilizes a supersonic ionized gas to aerosol a counter flow heat exchanger that envelopes the radioactive waste aerosol in a vacuum induced plasma vortex which appears to disrupt the matter stabilizing influence of the quantum vacuum fluctuations resulting in “gentle” low recoil fission reactions which produce only stable fission products, with excess neutrons being prompt converted to protons via quenched beta emissions. The process is believed applicable to the entire spectrum of radwaste without the need for waste partitioning. This process is also conjectured to operate with an over-unity efficiency. LENTEC Processes – The Low Energy Nuclear Transmutation Electrolytic Cells (LENTEC) of the Cincinnati group produce a variety of transmutation reactions using a variety of exotic electrolysis cell designs that generally produce condensed charge clusters composed primarily of up to 1011 electrons each. These electron charge clusters produced with the use of special electrodes can penetrate the nuclei of larger atoms in solution and transmute these atoms into stable elements. Kervran Reactions – Dr. Louis Kervran has identified a wide range of nuclear transmutations in biological systems that have not been adequately explained. AmoTerra Process – AmoTerra’s process involves confined explosions involving proprietary mixtures of materials that include radioactive waste. Ignition of such mixtures causes nuclear transmutations resulting in reduced radioactivity (to near-background levels) following combustion, gradually over 1 to 4 days. Higher Group Symmetry Electrodynamics – Extremely weak, non-classical, higher group symmetry electromagnetic fields can alter significantly the level of radioactivity in materials, even those in the environment. The experiments suggest that higher group symmetry electrodynamics modulate the quantitative and /or qualitative properties of radioactive species. If the non-classical fields directly affect the radioactive species, it is likely that the appropriate field parameters will be discovered to neutralize radioactive emissions. The technology is extremely simple and could be applied with minimum logistics for treating massive structures, in-toto outdoors, such as the Chernobyl disaster site.
