At the current cost of driving nuclear accelerators, I remember one book said ( 1980s) it would cost close to a billion an ounce ( counting wear and tear to the equipment , power source, not counting the lead. Maybe do it&nbsp; the way the Russians did ( below source) and have a reactor go rogue and radiate lead shielding, scientists, workers, and everything for a distance around it.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://chemistry.about.com/cs/generalchemistry/a/aa050601a.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://chemistry.about.com/cs/generalchemistry/a/aa050601a.htm" rel="nofollow">http://chemistry.about.com/cs/generalchemistry/a/aa050601a.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
