RE: [Fwd: Please advise]
Susan,
I have been approached twice before by individuals making similar claims. The last one was an employee who wanted the company to buy his "radioactivity neutralization" process and develop it for commercial use. He showed me "independent" measurements that he claimed proved that his process "neutralized" the radioactivity in kilogram quantities of uranium ore. I was not interested in his claims at all, but when I asked to examine his process in detail or make measurements of my own on samples run through his process, the requests were declined. I got a reputation for being "stonefaced" with the employee, probably because I was biting my tongue to keep from saying anything that questioned his intelligence or integrity. Anyway, from my experience, if the claimants will not allow close examination of their claims by whomever they're trying to sell to, or by mutually agreed upon independent parties, you are under no obligation to believe them or assist them. As Barbara suggested, !
they should seek to patent their process; if they can't even convince the patent office of the validity of their claims, then they probably don't have much.
