Re: [Vo]:Cold Fusion a Credible Future Shock

In this case they're guessing that alpha decay from uranium and other alpha emitters is causing the high levels of 4He. Sometimes one hears that the temperature of the Earth's core is maintained by radioisotopes such as uranium. I'm beginning to wonder whether this is another fudge, this time by geologists going to their nuclear physicist colleagues, who can only hazard a guess. How much uranium would be needed to maintain a molten iron-nickel core? (Note the the part about nickel.) Eric

RE: [Vo]:Cold Fusion a Credible Future Shock
-Original Message- From: Alan Fletcher The following is a selection of credible strategic shocks Here is another one which is more a twist on a known risk. And it could involve LENR but not in the way most are anticipating. The most credible and imminent future shock for the USA is probably the Yellowstone caldera. Some experts think it is ripe for a supervolcano and the one early potential date is 2023, not too far off. This date comes from the periodic earthquake swarms which follow peak solar activity by 3-4 years. This is no ordinary volcano. It could wipe out most of the population in a few years. Plus, it could in fact be powered by a giant natural nuclear reactor like the one at Oklo in Africa, but deeper, wetter and possibly augmented by LENR. Far more helium is coming to the surface in the geyser gas than could ever be expected. 60 tons per year is measured and it could be 100 tons or more. A hundred pounds of helium from fusion represents about 30 terawatt-hours of thermal output, so this amount of heat in Yellowstone is unimaginable from a nuclear source, unless that helium has been stored for millions of years, which is what the experts want to believe. The amount of helium is way too much for nuclear decay, in my view, and the 2500 earthquakes per year make it unlikely that helium could be naturally stored there for a decade, much less millions of years. Therefore it seems more likely that this helium could indicate the presence of a natural reactor which is picking up steam, so to speak. http://www.ibtimes.com/helium-yellowstone-national-park-way-more-ancient-element-escaping-expected-1556898 There is also the chance that some of the helium is coming from hybrid LENR. Uranium hydride is a subject that has been kept under that table for years, but fission/fusion could be a cofactor in UH reactions. Dufour, J et al Hydrogen triggered exothermic reaction in uranium metal. Phys. Lett. A, 2000.270: p. 254 http://www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/DufourJhydrogentr.pdf Given that the French are not as restricted in pursuit of this kind of comparatively dirty energy option as we are in the USA, one is led to wonder if they have pursued the hybrid technology privately in a Programme Noir? It should surprise no one if they have, since there is lots of depleted U to deal with from their huge reactor network, and what better way to use it?
