Tony, it would be very unusual to produce by transmutation only those nuclei that are not radio active, If Joe is right, the stuff cannot be touched for 100,000 years. By the way, Bob, Joe refers to nuclear transmutation, namely the absorption of a (thermal) neutron or even larger nucleotides (such as helium or lithium nuclei) by a "base" nucleus, or the release from, let say lead of one or more alpha particles to convert lead to one of the precious. The problem is that if this reaction could be achieved (and in "principle" it can and that was done sine the mid 1930's or so), most of the saughter particles are radio active. Zeev Zeev
