THE CASE FOR NEUTRON EMISSION FROM
DEPLETED URANIUM - by Elaine Hunter, Apr 15, 2008
Rate of Spontaneous Fission Neutrons From Uranium is 59.5+3
neutrons/g/hr
According to one reference: http://iop.org/EJ/abstract/0370-1298/65/3/307
from Proc. Phys. Soc., D.J. Littler, 1952: “A Determination of the Rate
of Emission of Spontaneous Fission Neutrons in Natural Uranium”] the
rate of emission of spontaneous fission neutrons from natural uranium
is computed to be 59.5+3 neutrons/g/hr of uranium.
According to another reference: http://www.mcgoodwin.net/pages/otherbooks/rr_darksun.html
Uranium-238 undergoes spontaneous fission at a rate 35 times that of
Uranium-235. Though U-238 is not fissile, which means it does not
sustain chain reactions, it is indeed fissionable, spontaneously so.
Neutrons produced by spontaneous fission may experience:
- Escape
- Non-fission capture by uranium
- Non-fission capture by other elements present
The size and shape of a quantity of uranium makes a difference in the
relative number of neutrons that escape or get captured. The greater
the surface area, the greater number of neutrons escaping.
Briefly and roughly stated: Uranium normally and continually emits
atomic particles called neutrons, traveling at high velocity. http://www.b-reactor.org/transmut.htm
Neutron and gamma radiation can penetrate armor or several feet of
earth and is extremely destructive to living tissue. With neutron
bombardment there is short-range effectiveness and no long-term
contamination as it quickly dissipates after the explosion. No
radioactive fallout is left behind http://www.manuelsweb.com/sam_cohen.htm
One of the most disturbing realizations about the harmful effects of
neutrons is that there is no “smoking gun,” no evidence of what caused
the harm. All sorts of methods could test the victims and NO test would
ever reveal that neutrons [or gamma rays or x-rays] were the cause of
illnesses, deaths or birth defects.
WHY NEUTRONS ARE ESPECIALLY HARMFUL TO LIVING TISSUES
1. Neutrons are uncharged particles, thus atomic nuclei do not repel
them. A neutron has mass but no electrical charge. When freed they make
an extremely lethal form of radiation. The probability that a neutron
[fast neutron] with an initial energy of about 1 MeV [million electron
volts] will induce fission is rather low, but can be increased by a
factor of hundreds when the neutron is slowed down through a series of
elastic collisions with light nuclei such as hydrogen, deuterium, or
carbon. The preferred way of slowing down neutrons is to cause them to
pass through material of low atomic weight, such as hydrogenous
material!
2. Neutrons are particularly effective in initiating nuclear reactions
if they pass through water. The light atoms in water absorb some of the
neutrons’ energy and do so without absorbing the neutrons themselves
[elastic collisions]. Neutrons are thus slowed down to the point they
moved with only the speed of molecules at room temperature. These
thermal neutrons stay in the vicinity of a particular nucleus a longer
fraction of a second and are more likely to be absorbed than fast
neutrons.
3. The human body is hydrogenous material - a well organized body of
water [75% or more], with some heavier molecules thrown in - which is
damaged or destroyed when transformed into a small-scale
water-moderated nuclear reactor by absored neutrons emissions.

is not produced in the manufacture of uranium hexafluoride. It is a
natural consequence of the radioactive decay of U-235 , and occurs
whether the uranium exists as a block of metal, an oxide powder, or
liquid/gaseous uranium hexafluoride. " I will, when I get more time, post
info from a US GOV report that refutes his misinformation]

NB: When will they ever learn? When will WE ever learn? When will we
get beyond alpha and get on to beta, gamma, x and, especially for now,
neutrons? All radiological emmissions are essential aspects of the
physical profile [as compared to the psychological profile] of these
insidious, surreptitious serial killers/maimers? What follows is based
upon referenced research, NOT just my opinion, though it’s my opinion
it is true and essential to characterized what’s really happening in
terms of health effects and damage.
