Conductivity of some (Li) salts in heavy water
Hi! I've noticed your comments from talk:cold fusion and your wikieditor page which links to your connection to Savannah River National Laboratory. Looking for some data on gadolinium nitrate conductivity (electrolytic) I've discovered a reference to a paper authored by some people from Savannah. What can you say about the paper and the authors? In general do you know some published data on heavy water lithium salts conductivity that a source Gary Taubes claims to be lower than that of those of the same salt(s) in usual water?--188.27.144.144 (talk) 10:48, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The paper's author is E. W. (Liz) Bauman. i worked in the same group with her for several years when I came to what is now SRNL, until she retired (many years ago).  She was a good chemist, but I know nothing specific about the paper itself, but my knowledge of her would suggest that what she wrote is most likely correct.


 * I know nothing specific about Li salts in heavy water, but it would be entirely reasonable to have their solubility be different in heavy water and normal ('light') water. Less or more I couldn't say at this moment.  Kirk shanahan (talk) 12:45, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

 * LOL - During my prior attempts to edit the CF article, I became involved in debates between some 'tenditious' editors. They got banned but I didn't becasue I understand the rules and they couldn't deal with my comments without getting 'tenditious'. Kirk shanahan (talk) 13:55, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
