Just curious if GW is one and the same GW who was president of Frontenac Ventures (uranium, Sharbot Lake, etc)

Thanks, sb. I apologize for the delay in answering you. Yeah, I was chasing this guy, too. (Lots of GWs out there!). I finally concluded that the Frontenac V George W was staking mining claims and building the corporation during the time RW's neighbor, GW, was in CAF working toward retirement. (1960s-1970s). Plus, the founder and CEO of Frontenac V possessed entirely different skills than the neighbor, who was a technician/mechanic having to do with airplanes.

"This from the website of FVC,

Frontenac Ventures Corporation (Frontenac) is a private company dedicated to the exploration and development of uranium properties through the acquisition of quality uranium prospects in Canada. The foremost project is in the East Bancroft area of southern Ontario, approximately 50 miles east of Bancroft, between Toronto and Ottawa. Four uranium mines operated in the Bancroft area from 1957 to 1964 and produced in excess of 15 million pounds of uranium from pegmatite ore.

The collapse of the uranium market and resulting very low prices during the 1970's resulted in almost no exploration during the next several decades...."

"George S. White - George White is the Founder, President and CEO of FVC. Prior to his retirement, Mr. White served as Vice President & General Manager of Westburne Industrial Enterprise Ltd., a multi-billion dollar corporation engaged in the distribution of oil & gas, plumbing, and electrical products throughout North America. Since his retirement, Mr. White has served as a director, officer and consultant to a number of private and public corporations. In the 1960's, Mr. White and his associates staked the mining claims, which now represent the South group of the Frontenac Project...."

Now more than a month after Williams was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years, Nicholas said investigators are continuing to investigate him for other possible offences.

“The books are not closed on Russell Williams,” Nicholas said. “The investigation is not over.”

And still no autopsy results on LC. Hmmm ... wonder what's up with that.

And still no autopsy results on LC. Hmmm ... wonder what's up with that.

sb, would the results of the forensic tests be published or must they be obtained by submitting a freedom of information request?

Nothing ever heard again from the other fellow found at 7:00 a.m. same day (with photo proof) ...floating you know where and sent to the same hospital for autopsy...

Maybe if L/E had been willing to spend $10,000,000 on an investigation there might have been a resolution by now that reasonable people could accept.

just my opinion.

TEHRAN - Two car bomb blasts killed one Iranian nuclear scientist and wounded another in Tehran on Monday, Iran's al Alam Arabic language television reported.

The bombings, rare attacks in the Iranian capital, occurred ahead of a possible meeting between Iran and major powers next month to discuss the country's nuclear program.

<bbm>

I really don't know the answer to that dd2. The Coroner will advise family of the results (if that has happened in LC's case, we are not aware of it). There are references in other cases to LE releasing results to the public, at other times it is the Coroner's Office that releases the information. I would think that a FOI request would be denied if the results were part of an ongoing criminal or coroner's investigation.

This pertains to sb's post # 367 back on Thread #3, page 15:

Don't know if Kevin Ryan is any relation to Dominic Ryan, but at least it got me to thinking. Dominic is LC's friend/associate who flew into Deep River with his airplane to visit with Lachlan. Can't recall when that would have been.

From what I can gather, gamma-ray spectroscopy is a component of, if not one and the same as, Mossbauer spectroscopy (and very likely a basic tool used in the nuclear industry):

http://www.rsc.org/membership/networ...intropart1.asp

from Dominic Ryan's web page at http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~dominic/Welcome.html

Quote:
My primary in-house research tools are Mössbauer spectroscopy, using a wide variety of resonances, magnetisation and ac-susceptibility.

Results from these measurements are complemented by neutron diffraction work at the CNBC located at Chalk River, Ontario and µSR at TRIUMF in Vancouver, BC.
Then in early 2010, Dominic Ryan credits Lachlan as one of the authors of a recent publication:

Then we have this from the Energy Citations Database:

Any coincidence or inferrence in the above info is not intended to disparage JS in any fashion. It does not seem outside the realm of possibility however, that LC may have known JS. I will keep plugging away on those hits.

I followed through to the paper on which LC collaborated and found that the publication had received it on 3 Nov. 2009, but only published it early in 2010.

:waitasec:dd2: Seems peculiar to me that JS's paper would lie in limbo for more than 44 years and then be entered into the systems data base, especially considering the events that occurred from 05/15/2009 through 01/18/2010.

Got any ideas?

Great research DD! Interesting and tangible connection you found! On another note just wanted to post this bit .

Iran says it has mined its own uranium for the first time, allowing it to bypass a United Nations ban on importing the material.

Not to be overlooked is that JS retired from ITER in December 2009. He said he was

... disappointed to leave the project at this stage ... has made no plans for his retirement ...

His job was far from done however, as his position was filled:

Which leads me back to wondering about that report LC left on his desk for mailing to an "overseas" client. Not unheard of in business to have a verbal report provided prior to a formal, final report of the results being typed and mailed.

(I'm lost in the tall weeds on this scientific talk, so please excuse any glaring mistakes or misperceptions....I do the best I can with what I've got...)

I posted links a page or two back pertaining to JS's employment with SNC Lavalin in Montreal. That mega-corp is now the stronger of 2 bidders on the purchase of AECL.

I'm working on an employment timeline for JS because of his close relationship with CR, nuclear science, LC's connection to both, and the matter of RW...

Sorry I can't at this point give it all here tied up with a ribbon....it just ain't that easy. All help will be appreciated.

Funeral for Jim Parkhurst
Posted 5 days ago

Tue, Nov 30th, '10 - 5:07 pm

Belleville has lost a long-time businessman and philanthropist…Jim Parkhurst died Monday [11/29/2010] at age 61. Parkhurst, owner and operator of Parkhurst Transportation, was a strong community supporter including the Belleville Police safety village, Santa claus parade, Minor hockey association and Belleville’s mobility bus, among many others. He sponsored a bus that carried veterans to CFB Trenton so they could participate in repatriation ceremonies for soldiers killed in Afghanistan. A funeral service for Jim Parkhurst will be held at John R. Bush funeral home at 2 P.M. Saturday.

I found a couple of other notices but none gave cause of death.

My condolences to the family of this fine man and to the community which has suffered so much this year.

That same document from the 2006 Geneva presentation was referenced in a final report dated November 17, 2009 summarizing a workshop held at Bishops Lodge, Santa Fe, NM September 20-22, 2009. From the Executive Summary:

... The workshop was motivated by the potential that light and neutron sources have to proffer advances in our understanding of radiation damage and to validate new science-based materials performance models ...

It seems LC wasn't simply the computer geek some would have the public believe .. LC et al have/had influence in matters related to the safety of nuclear fuel, facilities, structural components, and radiation damage.

I made it through the article at your link, sb. Thanks. Lots I can't understand, but I'm grateful that these people are among us.

I'm glad Lachlan didn't fall into the modern trap of compartmentalizing, but chose to seek to understand how all elements work and fit together to produce results, some discernible and some not.

I think I understand this segment of the last paragraph:

"....Further, in addition to cultural changes that would allow the full exploitation of currently available tools and techniques, new capabilities need to be developed if science-based certification is to play a role in the resurgence of nuclear energy....."

[emphasis mine] imo, some of those cultural changes should be discarding the focus of: Can it be weaponized? Can we get big bucks in government funding for it? Can we bamboozle the sheeple into believing it's for their protection and for our country's best interest? What's the bottom line profit potential?

AECL was designated Canada's implementing agent with regard to the engineering design activities of ITER:

Thanks, sb, the dates in the article at your link are very helpful in understanding some of the developments in JS's movements and work associations.

Your treaty is dated July, 1995. Time and events rolled on and lots of money was spent and Canada submitted the first bid for the location of the ITER facility. Then:

Canada Withdraws from ITER Negotiations

http://fusionpower.org
January 9, 2003


According to a posting on the ITER web site (http://www.iter.org), on December 23rd Canada announced its withdrawal from the ITER negotiations and the ITER Transitional Arrangements. Writing to the heads of the negotiating delegations, Dr. P. Busquin (for Euratom), Mr. X. Guanhua (China), Mr. T.Kawamura (Japan), Minister H-K. Park (Korea), Mr. A.Rumyantsev (Russian Federation), and Mr. S. Abraham (USA), the Hon. R. J.Efford (PC, MP) of Canada stated:

"I am writing to advise you of the decision by the Government of Canada to withdraw from the ITER negotiations. As you know, Canada participated in the design phase of the project and has been a party to the subsequent international negotiations. Iter Canada, a private-sector consortium, developed an offer (the Iter Canada Plan to Host ITER) to locate the project at Clarington, Ontario. Based on the excellent attributes of the Clarington site, which include major technical and cost advantages, the offer was presented by Canada to the international Parties at the June 2001 ITER meeting in Moscow. In June 2002, the European Union presented the French site at Cadarache and the Spanish site at Vandellos while Japan tabled its site at Rokkasho-mura. In light of the competitive offers submitted, including significant government financial backing, Canada indicated in December 2002 that it would review the ITER Canada Plan to Host and consider whether to table a revised offer.

"Further to discussions conducted with the Government of Ontario and Iter Canada, a decision has been made that Canada will not table a revised offer to host the project, nor participate as non-host. Given present priorities and other demands, Canada is not in a position to table a competitive package that would lead to Canada becoming the host to the ITER project. It has been a difficult decision to reach, and it is with regret that Canada is withdrawing from the ongoing negotiations. Canada is also notifying the International Atomic Energy Agency that Canada will be withdrawing from the ITER Transitional Arrangements.

There is some confusion as to the dates as the wiki on ITER states that Canada had been among the original group of nations participating but had withdrawn in late 2003. :waitasec:

I think it was just a screw-up with the changeover to a new year. Canada's formal letter indicating their withdrawal was in late 2003, and publicized in January 2004:

IIRC, LC arrived in Canada 2003 (presumably when he commenced his NRC position at the AECL lab), AECL was the agent involved in the ITER bid on Canada's behalf, and JS was in the background waiting to be seconded by ITER US to whichever location was ultimately successful in the bid.

Hmm .. interesting that the links I provided to the official information over in the Darlington Doe thread 2 weeks ago are now "page not found". Sheesh, just TRY to have something removed from the internet, eh?
