Green fission ??? I don't think so. LOL. Fission by any other name is dirtier-than-dirt (but cleaner than burning coal) so to call it green is a sacrilege in a way, even if we use thorium or natural U (un-enriched) as the fuel. Nevertheless, if a fission reactor can be made strongly

Axil, I am not sure that it's relevant, but (at least what appears to be) odd deterministic heat cycling appears when H2 or D2 is loaded into Pd powder. See - Chaos in oscillatory heat evolution accompanying the sorption of hydrogen and deuterium in palladium http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.3873 An

I'm having a hard time making sense of this on several levels. For a one thing, the Mosier-Boss results (including the paper you link below and previous papers, all found in a page on their site) document fast neutrons, not thermal neutrons. For another thing, fission would put the lie to their

Good points, Jeff Maybe, I'm assuming incorrectly, bu from Mosier-Boss paper excerpt - These results indicated that there were at least two channels - an aneutronic channel that produced heat (the so-called true Fleischmann-Pons effect) and another channel that favored formation of energetic
