NAVY LENR Patent Granted – Transmutes Radioactive Waste
NAVY LENR Patent Granted – Transmutes Radioactive Waste
This U.S. Navy patent transmutes radioactive elements into less harmful elements through a benign “cold fusion” low energy nuclear reaction process. The patent was granted April 16, 2013 for a device and method that shortens the half-life of radioactive materials by increasing their rate of emissions.
A friend called and said take a look at the U.S. Navy SPAWAR Technology Transfer site.The search I made on July 9th, 2013, yielded this which was posted six days ago by the U.S Navy SPAWAR Technology Transfer folks.The U.S. Navy LENR patent is listed under Physical Chemistry. Oddly enough, it is not listed under Radiation and Nuclear Chemistry.This technology is now available for licensing purchase here.Physical Chemistry8419919: System and method for generating particlesSPAWAR Systems Center Pacific – Technology TransferSSC Pacific currently has over 600 pieces of intellectual property (patents, patent applications, and Navy invention disclosures). Many of these properties are available for licensing through Patent License Agreements (PLAs).PLAs allow companies to commercially exploit SSC Pacific-developed technology. Royalty rights, legal rights, and other terms and conditions on the use of the technology are negotiated by the company and SSC Pacific. The licensee gains the technical knowledge and financial benefits of the Government intellectual property. SSC Pacific retains the rights to use the technology for Government purposes. Licensees must complete and submit an Application for License to Practice Invention (pdf)and a commercialization plan (in essence, a business plan). These two items are a statutory requirement to license SSC Pacific technologies. If submitting the application and commercialization plan together, many of the answers on the application can refer back to the commercialization plan.PLAs can be partially exclusive or nonexclusive. The partially exclusive license agreement is, in essence, an exclusive license agreement with the exception of the Government having rights. See the SSC Pacific Partially Exclusive PLA Template (pdf) for more information on what a partially exclusive PLA entails. Licensees may work with employees of SSC Pacific to further develop or test the technology through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA).

Environmental remediation of these nuclear catastrophes should be our foremost priority.Studying this patent, I can not help but observe that this is an advanced LENR concept and that the NAVY has been working hard at this for quite some time. The patent was filed in 2007. Published and made viewable six years later. Now that this publicly funded “patent” work is finally seen by the public, it should be brought to the limelight of the world stage immediately.International and National lobby groups should be formed to do so.These terrible nuclear industry disasters require it…
