Dutch Cooperation?
The visit of the Dutch nuclear physicist, Prof. C. J.
Bakker, to Argentina last year was mistakenly attributed
to a desire to have him observe the Richter achievements.
Although he visited the Heumul laboratories, he has never
publicly commented on them.
The principal reason for Bakker’s visit, however, and
one never made public, was that Holland was planning
to sell nuclear equipment to Argentina. This plan may
still go through, and it will more than likely be for the
reputable Buenos Aires laboratories and not for the
Richter establishment in Heumul.
Richter’s project, in which he claimed to have developed
a thermonuclear reaction, is practically entirely discounted
by recognized Argentine physicists. They say that, if
anything, he is using the Cockcroft process, first described
in 1932, which uses protons on lithium targets, with the
lithium converted into helium plus energy. Richter has
said he is using an Argentine material, and Argentina is a
producer of lithium.
