This is true. We should be focusing on the strongest claims. I would like to ask Ed if he has the time, and anyone else who has followed this closely, to list the *best* transmutation claim he has seen in the literature or in his own work ("best" being the most likely to sway the opinion of fence-straddling skeptics and/or the DoE officialdom). To start the ball rolling, I think the most relevant in terms of an air-tight case are those of Dr. Passels of EPRI. Here is an *excellent* analysis of some his work: http://blake.montclair.edu/~kowalskil/cf/126passell.html Jones
