It's been a while since I read the article, but my recollection is that the nuclear model claims to have a strength in explaining the variations in the earth's magnetic field.
In brief, the reaction products that accumulate function as moderators of the reaction. They can slow or even stop the reaction; then as these moderating products disperse, the reactions can increase or restart. The magnetic field varies as the nuclear reactions vary.
This is getting quite far out on the fringe of the creation/evolution debate, but I give it a bump, to see if I can get a comment out of Joe Meert.
Moose
JM: Moose, this idea is quite intriguing and is largely one of those geochemical reservoir arguments. I certainly think it is possible that some Uranium could be in the core (along with K and Th), but I don't follow the arguments for such a high content as would be required by the model. Could it be there? Sure. Is the evidence compelling that it is there in substantial amounts. No. It's one of those interesting wait and see stories.
Cheers
Joe Meert

Hey, just dropping in to post a reply to my question on if Humphreys misrepresented that magnetic field graph. He wrote back and in so many words, asked me to relay this information back.

We're all familiar with his excuse. Unfortunately, the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of him either stupidly or intentionally misusing the data as we've shown here clearly. Humphreys was outside his area of knowledge and got caught in a freshman mistake. See the posts beginning with message 30 on this thread. Humphreys can Clinton this till the cows come home, but he got caught! He should read a bit more carefully when writing about things outside of his scientific expertise.
Cheers

The most egregious part of Humphreys' escapade is that, as we found out earlier in our discussion with TB(?), he has given a whole generation of layman creationists the idea that he actually has data to back up his theory. This is really sad.
