The Japanese financial web site Nikkei.com has published an article featuring the work that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is doing with detoxification of nuclear waste using a transmutation process that is being developed by a team led by researcher Iwamura Yasuhiro.
The article reports about some of the experimental results that have been obtained, and mentions the conference held in Tokyo last year about LENR — translated here as “low-temperature nuclear fusion”.
Here’s a link to a Google translated version of the article in English: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&tl=en&prev=_dd&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nikkei.com%2Farticle%2FDGXNASDZ040JJ_X00C14A4000000%2F
