Thanks, Jeff, for the links. Some interesting details that fill in some of the gaps for someone coming up to speed on this story: Jenkins, Fischbach and others suggest that there is a relationship between the sun and the decay rates of some isotopes. There are any number of decay modes, and the

The physical constant μ0, commonly called the vacuum permeability, permeability of free space, or magnetic constant is an ideal, (baseline) physical constant, which is the value of magnetic permeability in a classical vacuum. Ken Shoulders has taken out a patent for the remediation of nuclear wast

From New Scientist (needs free registration): Half-life strife: Seasons change in the atom's heart Nothing is supposed to speed up or slow down radioactive decay. So how come the sun seems to be messing with some of our elements? The
