I recieved some really neat information from some "highly placed
sources at Los Alamos National Labs."  A quick synopsis:

Supposedly, LANL has managed to reproduce the reaction.  "According to
destroying a hood, the experiment melted a four inch hole through a
concrete floor.  No one was killed, amazingly enough.  [...]  Los
Alamos measured incredible quantities of gamma radiation and fast
neutrons.  Kids, don't try this at home."  This is quoted from someone
else, who got it direct from LA.

However, the public relations officer (Jeff Schwarts) for LA
specifically denies that the experiment has been duplicated...yet.

All I know is that I'm excited...let's hope that this IS true and not
another scientific mistake.

Some of this (I can't tell how much) came from the physics digest, so
check over there for more information.

David Birnbaum.
