 | | Fuel for the reactor is element 115, Ununpentium. |
 | | Supporting the claim that Ununpentium is a stable element, Bob notes, "...in that heavy ion research facility in Germany, they just discovered that in their dabbling in transmuting elements, and as we got higher up on the periodic chart their half lives got shorter and shorter. |
 | | Well, for the first time they came up with element 109, I think, and the half life became longer, and they are seriously considering that this may be a trend and that it may lead up to a stable element. |
