From page 35...
... Theoretical calculations indicate that practical devices may have to store about 1022 positrons per liter, which is 109 times greater than concentrations that have been stored to date and exceeds by many orders of magnitude current positron storage capabilities. Extreme technological challenges must be overcome before practical devices based on this or other exotic material will be ready for even exploratory development.
From page 36...
... Without such a defendable order of magnitude estimate of how the reaction rate will be increased to useful values, this approach seems to have no merit at the present time. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS With respect to exotic physics, the committee found that— The use of both antimatter and nuclear isomers for storing energy for rapid release is at a very early, exploratory predevelopment stage.
