Resolution
13th
Russian Conference
on Cold Transmutation
of Nuclei of Chemical Elements
and
Ball Lightning
(RCCTN&BL-13)
The 13th Russian
Conference on Cold Transmutation of Nuclei of Chemical Elements and Ball
Lightning was held in the city of
The Conference was arranged
by the RCCNT&BL-13 Organizing Committee, and
Interdisciplinary Committee on Cold Fusion in cooperation with the Russian
Committee on the Problems of Ball Lightning Russian Academy of Sciences and
held under the auspices of the Russian Physical Society, Nuclear Society of
Russia, Russian Mendeleev Chemical Society,
Edition of the Program and
Abstracts of the RCCNT&BL-13, the Proceedings of the previous
RCCNT&BL-12 and also partial financial support of several participants of
the RCCNT&BL-13 were provided by sponsorship of the Scientific and
Manufacturing Association “Attractor”, State Center of Information Technologies
and “Kuban Broiler” Co., Ltd.
Totally 40 scientists and
specialists took part in the Conference including 36 persons from
33 reports and two information were presented and considered at the
Conference, including 14 reports based upon the results of experimental
investigations, 17 reports about theoretical works and 4 Reviews. 21 of those presentations (10 experimental
and 10 theoretical and 1 review) were dedicated to the problems of Cold Fusion
phenomenon and 12 presentations (4 experimental and 7 theoretical and one
review) were dedicated to the problems
of Ball Lightning. Though
sometimes such division turned out to be definitely conditional since the
subject of those reports related to both problems simultaneously. Two
presentations were dedicated to the problems of managing and funding the
investigations in that fields.
Among all those reports dedicated
to Cold Fusion three presentations evidenced regular registration of high
thermal neutron fluxes (104 – 106 n/s) correlated with generation of
Tritium (Bazhutov), while the verification experiment exhibited no any neutrons
irradiated. Moreover, the factor of
neutron yield suppression relative to generation of Tritium (5-6 orders of
magnitude) turned out to be typical for cold fusion phenomenon. Five presentations reported about
transmutation of nuclei (Karabut, Savvatimova) and about registration of
“strange” nuclear treks (Savvatimova, Rodionov), X-radiation and
gamma-radiation (Karabut, Romodanov). It was admitted that the nature of the
“strange” treks might probably disclose the mechanism of Cold Nuclear
Transmutation. One author offered to
improve the method of experimentation with electric blasts of metal wires (Samsonenko). The
reports presented by Grishin, Savvatimova and Sharkov were dedicated to
investigations of various structural changes in solid and liquid
substances. Within the frames of the
problem of handling radioactive waste an original method of final solution of
the problem of remediation of radioactive waste was presented by Goryachev
based on the results of theoretical and experimental research of elimination of
radioactivity under the influence of specially structured electromagnetic
radiation.
In the reports presented on
the problems of Cold nuclear Fusion implementation of different methods of
initiating the processes of Cold Fusion was shown which is typical for Russian
investigations. Bazhutov implemented
electrolysis with gas discharge on the anode.
Grishin used cathode-anode electrical discharge. Sharkov implemented activation of water. Karabut, Romodanov
and Savvatimova worked with glow discharge.
Samsonenko – electrical blast of metal wires
and others.
In the experimental works
dedicated to the problem of Ball Lightning there were presented 4 reports with
evidence that the authors managed to generate long living (up to 1 sec)
lighting objects in the experiments with super high frequency discharge
(Klimov) and in 2 reports - using gas dynamic processes (Shabanov,
Furov).
In 17 theoretical reports
relating both to Cold Nuclear Fusion and Ball Lightning a wide variety of
original simulation model was presented with a view to further experimentation
based on those models. Within the frames
of some of those models new structures of substances were proposed based on
strong theoretical understanding (Bazhutov, Rodionov, Bychkov,
Vlasov, Kholodov, Scchedrin, Scherbak and others).
The reviews presented
relating to the problems of Ball Lightning turned out to be very interesting
and informative (Bychkov, Stakhanova), as well as the
presentation by Bill Collis about the mission and role of the international
Society of Scientists on the problems of Cold Nuclear Fusion (ISCMNS) and about
participation of Russian and foreign scientists in that activities.
In the conclusion all the
participants of the Conference unanimously expressed their opinion about the
reasonability to continue investigations of the problems of cold fusion and
ball lightning and supported the proposal of the Organizing Committee to hold
next 14th Russian Conference on the Problems of Cold Transmutation
of Nuclei of Chemical Elements and ball lightning
(RCCTN&BL-14) in September 2006.
