I have been asked about my ideas relating to the neutron bomb story. What I think is this: Most of the clues are already there. But I think Emilio Dell Guidice (dead now) was about right when he visited me in Paddington. It is a version of cold fusion discovered by Fleischmann. I knew Fleischmann. If you heat Uranium metal to 300 degrees it reacts with hydrogen to give Uranium hydride UH3. Presumably then also Deuterium and Tritium. These are molecular species, not as Dell Guidice told me, a solution or an intersticial affair. When the system gets above about 700 degrees the hydrides decompose back to Uranium and hydrogen. This is the basis for a nuclear power system which cannot melt down as the neutron moderator, hydrogen, reversibly leaves the Uranium and stops the reactor. Neutrons are stopped by low atomic number elements, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron ,Hydrogen. They pass through high atomic number elements (e.g. concrete). They are stopped ballistically not ionically as they carry no charge. Their relative biological effectiveness (ionisation) results from the kinetic energy they impart to hydrogen in water. It is about 100 (alpha is 20). OK. They make a mix of Depleted Uranium with varying quantities of UT3 and UD3. When these are heated up, by explosive or just by impact they do fusion, producing a massive neutron release of 14MeV and to a lesser extent plus an alpha particle. There is no tamper, as with thermonuclear, so the neutrons are not reflected back into the bomb but are allowed to escape. The device is very small and low yield. They had neutron land mines and shells. The key is a very low yield explosion (tons of TNT). Back to DeIl Guidice if this is the case, the U-239, then that decays to Plutonium-239. Pu239 was measured in DU residues, also U236, but it was explained away as due to contamination in the source material when we were told on the DUOB . So there is minimal damage to property with this weapon, and it is PERFECT for Fallujah and Gaza and anywhere where the enemy is sheltered behind concrete walls. Yeltsin called it the capitalist bomb. T2 D2 === n0 He4. The neutrons naturally kick U234 up to U235. Dell Guidice said the they kick U238 up to U239 which is metastable and decays to U235 plus an alpha. Thats where he thought the U235 came from. Myself I think from U234 (of which there is a fair amount in DU as I know from my Hiroshima black rain research findings, the Rocky Flats table. Of course also there will be activation products in local materials, soil concrete etc. Ca-45 is one. I obtained some concrete from the Baghdad airport after the US blew up the Republican Guard who were defending it. There was a big flash and they were all found dead in their bunkers the next day. The US would not let IAEA in to measure anything for 6 months and carted the debris into the desert. Note that Co-60 is a activation product which wpould have been in the steel. Metal guns, metal shelding, reinforcing rods etc. Pof Ali Khobeisi (also dead) measured residual gamma in the Khiam Lebanon crater in 2006, radiation which disappeared over 6 weeks. About 10 times background. That is a acceptable decay for the neutron activation fallout in soil. I am sure I am right. It is a very big story, but I will be written off as a nutter as usual. What we need is some samples and gamma measurements taken with a Geiger immediately after the explosion and for a few days to check the half life of the residual gamma.
