[ RadSafe ] The strange case of solar flares and radioactiveelements

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Interesting, though I would have liked to see some numbers on how much
the supposed changes are.  If they are out in the fourth or fifth
decimal place, I will want more conformation before I get too excited.
Remember polywater and cold fusion.

We may all need to reconsider the immutability of an isotope's half-life

and the possibility of new, elementary particle.
