  Properties of fully ionized water plasmas are discussed including plasma
charge density oscillations and the screening of the Coulomb law especially in
the dilute classical Debye regime. A kinetic model with two charged particle
scattering events determines the transition rate per unit time for electron
capture by a nucleus with the resulting nuclear transmutations. Two corrections
to the recent Maiani et al. calculations are made: (i) The Debye screening
length is only employed within its proper domain of validity. (ii) The WKB
approximation employed by Maiani in the long De Broglie wave length limit is
evidently invalid. We replace this incorrect approximation with mathematically
rigorous Calogero inequalities in order to discuss the scattering wave
functions. Having made these corrections, we find a verification for our
previous results based on condensed matter electro-weak quantum field theory
for nuclear transmutations in chemical batteries.
