Technetium would also be a handy element to use to see if Barker's method of enhancing alpha decay also works for positron emission decay. See United States Patent 5,076,971 Barker Dec. 31, 1991, Method for enhancing alpha decay in radioactive materials,Inventors: Barker; William A. (Los Altos, CA). Assignee: Altran Corporation (Sunnyvale, CA). Appl. No.: 400,180, Filed: Aug. 28, 1989.

That patent doesn't have much life left, even if it was maintained.
