The mind set was that one had to look for neutrons in the early days
rather than heat and nothing about Ni/H2 show how much Rossi brought to

at the time.
There are a number of experiments that seem to show that it is
possible to have excess heat production in a different experimental
system: nickel and hydrogen rather than palladium and deuterium. In
this case the only reasonable explanation for nuclear fusion reactions
is the fusion of hydrogen with one of the few deuterons that are
always present in hydrogen as impurities.
