-Caveat Lector- [below described technology is a "by-product" of "cold fusion" research] Date: 3 June 1999 From: Hal Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ http://www.padrak.com/ine ] Cc: David Crocket Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.

We have spent about one million dollars in our development work. Our monthly financial requirements are modest. We believe that we can secure our patent position and develop a proprietary systems with an additional investment of $500,000. The amount to be made from the use of such proprietary equipment is billions of dollars. We welcome visits by the most astute nuclear scientists in evaluating our analytical and experimental work. We have a complete business plan, an offering memorandum, and positive experimental results.
