Hey, I can help here from a recent response from Mr. Lovick himself !

 

I can confirm what Quellish is saying, namely that Mr. Lovick intended 30% as the percentage of

Cesium in the ionizing additive and not as the percentage of fuel.

 

Reading Ed's description in "Radar Man" (an excellent read by the way), this was driving me crazy

as well because it would imply a large amount of additive. So I asked Mr. Lovick.

 

Quoting Ed's response here:

"The cesium was 30% of the ionizing additive."

 

And then another bonus from Ed:

"The ionizing additive was a very small percentage of the fuel."

 

Thanks Ed!
