I am working with people from the physics department at SIUE and the nuclear engineering department at NCSU. I am hoping that a large portion of the budget woes will be alliviated by these two sources and their materials.

A few more to add to the list.

Antimony
Cobalt
Dysprosium
Erbium
Gadolinium
Palladium
Rubidium
Strontium
Tantalum

Makes me think of Tom Lehrer's "Elements" song. (First heard this ditty in 1958... I was 16-years old at the time)

Have you managed to activate cobalt, Jon!?

I missed seeing that one, if it's here in the forum.

Is there a link, what are the run details?
