Having no access to What's New I would appreciate if somebody could send
me a copy of the article about neutralization of radioactivity. I am 
preparing the AAPT presentation (New Orlean, January 1998) on reactor-
accelerator systems for destroying highly radioactive nuclear waste (spent
reactor fuel). I learned about this emerging technology (?) while on
sabbatical in France, two years ago. And I keep my eyes open on anything
related with this subject (large scale neutron induced transmutations).
The "cold fusion effect" can possibly be a good introductory joke on the 
subject.
