Scientists at the U.S. Navy's San Diego SPAWAR Systems Center have produced
something unique in the 18-year history of the scientific drama
historically known as cold fusion: simple, portable, highly repeatable, and
permanent physical evidence of nuclear events using detectors that have a
long track record of reliability and acceptance among nuclear physicists.

Diego research by Steven Krivit and Daviss published in New Energy Times in
November.
For the record, the term "cold fusion" was never chosen by Fleischmann and
Pons; it was wished on them by the press. It was and is a poor descriptor
for the phenomenon. The concept of fusion remains highly speculative, a
variety of phenomena are clearly not fusion, and then there is the
Widom-Larsen not-fusion theory.
