Thanks for the tidbits...google's English translation of Japanese is not
clear.

Another interesting tidbit: p. 1 says they were awarded a patent in Japan,
and a patent in Europe in 2013.

Page 1 also quotes the guy in charge of the research center, Ishide, saying
that they have made progress in recent years. He says the amount of
material transmuted has increased from "nanogram levels to micrograms; an
improvement by 3 orders of magnitude . . ."

I think the rest of the technical content can be found in recent papers by
Iwamura.

The second page of this article discusses cold fusion. It includes the
usual blather about how it was "mostly" not replicated, and how it is
considered no better than alchemy. The article implies Iwamura is trying to
distance himself from cold fusion, which is not true. Then it has a photo
of Prof. Arima visiting the experiment in 2007. Arima is Japan's version of
Robert Park. He denounced cold fusion when it was first reported, and he is
the go-to source for the newspapers when they want a fresh attack. I hope
Iwamura rubbed his nose in the results.

Ah, thanks. Someone told me about this, but I could not find it with the

The road to the detoxification of radioactive waste? Mitsubishi Heavy, to
practical research

2014/4/8 7:00

Use the deuterium, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries established the basic
technology of the element conversion to change the type of the element with
less energy. Without a large-scale nuclear reactors and accelerators, for
example cesium was confirmed by experiment and can vary in many
praseodymium element number four. Toward demonstration equipment
installation in the future and into the practical application research.
Converted to harmless non-radioactive elements, the same strontium and
radioactive cesium radioactive waste and those that open the way for
detoxification of, the rush to put to practical use as a primary
manufacturer.
