Gordon, as I said, more than one group have consistently obtained excess energy from "electrolytic" cells containing any of deuterium, tritium and one even Li3. I am not aware of any credible theory explaining these, but since all the physics of fusion was carried out in vacuo, fusion reactions carried out on solids (palladium electrodes and probably some other 4d and 5f transition metals) would have cross section which are quite different. For instance the reaction of two deuterium atoms fusing into an helium atom (I should say in both cases nuclei) has a cross section of 10^-5 smaller than those resulting in two particles (a neutron and either Li3 or H3) in vacuo, thus a very low probability in vacuo. But in the presence of solid (that can take of the excess momentum in a 2 for 1 reaction) it could be equal if not greater than the neutron reactions. The absence of major neutron flux in Pons - Fleischman experiments was the main weapon of big Physics against Pons and Fleischman. I do not think that cold fusion will be around anytime soon, but eventually, I think these reactions can be mastered. Zeev
