I once talked to a scientist who worked on cat litter for a major corporation. It was surprisingly interesting to hear about the chemistry and geology and supply chain management of such a mundane substance. I guess the DOE scientists running this project were not aware of these subtle issues of chemistry and geology.

- tedsanders 12y agoThey were in the business of manufacturing non-organic cat litter, the kind made from a special type of clay.

I'm surprised that the spec did not call for bentonite directly, and that no one in these comments has mentioned it either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentonite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentonite
