Ms. JOCELYN BELL BURNELL (Neutron Star Specialist): I think this microphone is working okay.
In particular the intermediate product protactinium-233 (Pa-233) is a neutron absorber which diminishes U-233 yield.
FORBES: Is Thorium the Biggest Energy Breakthrough Since Fire? Possibly.
The LENR offers a slow-moving neutron to an element NASA researchers are working with nickel.

For example, its Weapons Neutron Research Facility lists the numbers of employees' office and cellular phones.
They are produced by supernovae, neutron stars, galactic centres, black holes and the like.
Further catastrophe awaits the remaining, ordinary star if it orbits the neutron star too closely.
Strong gravitational waves are thought to be produced by the collision of two neutron stars.
This means that they are more likely to be destroyed when the neutron beam is switched on.
To help provide the answer, officials are using gamma-ray and neutron devices that can peer into containers.
This is not easy to do in the body, where obstructions such as bones block the neutron beam.
Sometimes such an association survives even after one of the stars explodes and leaves behind a neutron star.
The product can be used as a neutron initiator: the component of a nuclear bomb that triggers an explosion.
To regain stability, the acquired neutron splits into an electron and a proton.

The train continued on behind us, and the station depopulated as if neutron-bombed.
That, she says, suggests the burst came from a single neutron star just a few hundred light years away.
Neutron stars have a distinctive X-ray characteristic, which the research team looked for.
FORBES: Scientists May Have Found The Galaxy's Youngest Black Hole
The neutron emission was about 400 times stronger than the usual background level.

For then, over time, the neutron star gradually consumes its companion's outer layers.
Ceradyne also sells neutron-absorbing materials that can be used for nuclear fuel storage.
We all know that Craigslist has been the neutron bomb of the Internet.
As its CEO in the two decades between 1981 and 2001, Neutron Jack Welch streamlined the dickens out of GE.
In one significant respect U-233 is better than uranium-235 and plutonium-239, because of its higher neutron yield per neutron absorbed.
FORBES: Is Thorium the Biggest Energy Breakthrough Since Fire? Possibly.
In this scenario, the gamma ray burst was caused by a large, comet-like object that fell into a neutron star.
FORBES: Scientists Develop Two Scenarios For Cosmic Christmas Explosion
Mr Welch earned the sobriquet Neutron Jack by analogy with the neutron bomb, which kills people but leaves buildings intact.
ECONOMIST: Online, straight from the gut and politically incorrect
There, the starry guts spiral down to the neutron star's surface, heating to over a billion degrees as they go.
This involves injecting boron atoms into the cancerous organ, and using a neutron beam to split them into destructive high-energy particles.
It would necessarily be beamed energy of gamma-rays, x-rays, and cosmic rays resulting either from the merger of two neutron stars.

For example, neutron stars the extraordinarily dense remnants of stars that have exploded as supernovae often have nearby partners that orbit one another.
Aeroplane avionics, for example, are vulnerable to the perturbations caused by neutron particles cascading down through the high atmosphere during a storm.
Also on board Mars Odyssey is a neutron spectrometer that registers evidence for underground ice in the same regions of the planet.
