The lowest-energy nuclear isomer known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_thorium#Thorium-229m ​"Gamma ray spectroscopy has indicated that 229Th has a nuclear isomer 229mTh with a remarkably low excitation energy. This would make it the lowest-energy nuclear isomer known, and it might be

The Cook theory does not explain how a positive energy feedback loop is established between the nucleus and the cause of LENR. The Cook idea does not address the storage of nuclear energy over time as a buffer against reactor destruction. Cook's theory does not explain how a meltdown occurs where t

Hi Bob, Cook proposes a inter-nuclear excitation path involving gamma radiation. Even though a energy pathway is required to get energy out of an excited nucleus into something else. Gamma EMF does not seem to be the correct pathway. I think that the strong force carried by monopole magnetism wou

Interesting thought Bob. It seems that this type of situation would have revealed itself when the suspected isomer containing element was subjected to neutron activation experimentation. I would suspect that this sort of test would have been performed frequently in the past when elements were

Eric-- I did misunderstand what I thought you were saying. I do agree with you that most people consider nuclear isomers to be excited energy states with a large differential energy above the ground state. I have always considered any excited nuclear state to be a nuclear isomer. I do not k

2016-01-18 Thread Bob Higgins
Recent discussion of nuclear isomers has stimulated a chain of thought that clearly points to holes in my understanding of isomers. From reading in Norman Cook's book, I find that nuclear theory is in a quite primitive state. It caused me to ask myself, "How are nuclear isomers determined?", "How
