Brown's Gas: 30-Year-Old Nuclear Decontamination Technology I first learned about Brown’s gas from an interview on Radio Out There with Nexus magazine publisher Duncan Roads. He talked about the magazine's 200th edition, which features their top 20 top news stories (over 36 years). Roads refers to a 2017 article on Brown’s gas.[1] Although the article itself focuses solely on its health benefits, in the interview Roads also mentions its use in nuclear waste decontamination.
What piqued my interest the most was your bit on AmoTerra and mention of a proprietary laser technique to decontaminate nuclear waste. In the early 2010's I met a researcher named Domenic Olivieri at his company booth (Crystal Ray Technologies) at the Ottawa Gem and mineral Show. He told me he was working with the University of Ottawa to develop laser induced nuclear decay. Curiously, he told me the Canadian federal government at the time wasn't interested in this innovation at all. Just a tidbit I thought you might want to know!
I had the same reaction, Skeptical, when I first heard the interview with Duncan Roads. That's why I had to find out more.
Hi Stuart! Really informative article, thank you.

Thank you for posting this! I had never thought about the possibility that radioactive waste could be mitigated (?) instead of stored.
And the idea of bacteria living inside nuclear reactors???? wow.
