I do not know about this test, but it would be ridiculous to reject cold fusion
based on one test in 1989, especially after 100 other labs replicated
successfully. In any case, in 1990 the Director of the Max Planck Institute for
Physical Chemistry wrote that he was certain the effect is real. See:

This is a completely different institute, and one probaly has to know the
intricacies of the Max-Planck organization.
Max-planck Directors are basically completely independent feudal lords, and the
institute is resumed, when the 'master' retires.
at least this was the idea when the Max Planck Institutes were termed 'Kaiser
Wilhelm Gesellschaft'.

Never mind.
The IPP is different, in that it is so large that the old concept does not
apply anymore. It -the old concept- applies to budgets of several millions, and
not hundreds of millions.
The IPP is the biggest of all Max-Planck institutes, and therefore has >10
Directors., which form a collective, and is alien to the original -as said-
feudal conception of a scientific lordship.
PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE THOSE!
Foreigners naturally do not understand the fine-print of such a delicate
institution.
I can understand that.
Wikipedia does not tell the story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck_Institute_of_Plasma_Physics.
The German wikipedia neither, btw.
in German it reads like this:
...
Im Mai 2010 teilte die Europäische Kommission mit, dass laut einer aktuellen
Kostenschätzung ihr Anteil an den
Baukosten von ehemals geplanten 2,7 Milliarden Euro auf 7,3 Milliarden
Euro steigen wird. Daraus errechnen sich Gesamtkosten in Höhe von 16
Milliarden Euro.
...
Die EU deckelte daraufhin ihren Anteil bei 6,6 Milliarden Euro. Sie will die
Kostensteigerungen durch Umschichtungen aus dem Agrar- und dem
Forschungsetat decken.

You do not need to be a native german speaker to know from where the wind blows.
This is BIG money, and it is government money!
