Not that I'm a fan of WL :), but: D + e- => 2 n Pd106 + 2 n => Ru104 + He4 + 11.9 MeV Granted 11.9 MeV isn't 23.8 MeV, but it is about half, and I'm not convinced that the He4/heat ratio has been measured all that accurately. Furthermore, Pd104 + 2 n => Ru102 + He4 + 13.75 MeV and Pd102 + 2 n => Ru100 + He4 + 15 MeV Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
