Richard,
You may remember that I demonstrated the phenomenon at a previous HEAS with your fusor. I took the bare probe of my PNC-1 and used my body to thermalize the neutrons. My body liquid was darn near as good as the parafin in the detector block.

Jim, Yes, I do remember that demo and that is why my 3He tube is in a tank of water since 2002. Total absolute surrounding of pure moderator. Similar to what it would do if placed inside a suitable body cavity where the sun don't shine. Couldn't resist the illustrative humor.........
