You confirm that publication of the Oak Ridge experiments was suppressed.

This covers more than the 1958 experiments reported by Charlie Willis, and

the K-39 dated 1962 that had been recovered from animal experiments sent to

Argonne in 1982 for the paramecia experiments. (Argonne also spent $75,000

for K-39 from Oak Ridge around 1983-4.)



Does anyone on this list have any more info?



Thanks, Jim
