>> You might also note that natural Samarium contains two long lived radioactive isotopes, Sm-147 (15%) & Sm-148 (11%), both of which decay via alpha decay. If this decay were somehow triggered, it might explain an energy anomaly. Good point Robin - and you forgot Sm-149, an alpha emitter which is also in sizeable percentage ... but the half-life of these is a hundred billion year range and up, so it would definitely require accelerated decay to be relevant - and that would also show helium in the ash. However, the wild card for samarium is probably not accelerated decay so much as it is alteration of the QM probability field which can be a function of any radioactive decay isotope in a tiny percentage. At least that was the opinion of a series of experiments which showed large gain from small additions of alpha emitters.
