FWIW I recently googled the following article on W-L: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Widom-Larsen.php Not sure if this article addresses some of the criticisms adequately or not. Just a personal comment here: It was my understanding that W-L is supposed to address (theoretically) a whole slew of unexpected/unexplainable "transmutations" that have been detected from numerous independent experiments.
