Rusi P. Taleyarkhan, Colin D. West, JaeSeon Cho, Richard T. Lahey, Robert I. Nigmatulin, Robert C. Block http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.3217 ABSTRACT: This article focuses on correcting several factual errors and critiques in the previously published Letter in Phys. Rev. L, Vol. 89, No. 10, 2022, by D. Shapira and M. Saltmarsh. The authors of the Letter did not perform their own "independent" experiments as claimed; they did not perform control experiments with normal acetone; and, neither did they monitor for tritium. It their Letter, the authors (D. Shapira and M. Saltmarsh) failed to disclose that the data they collected actually confirmed our claims of having observed statistically significant nuclear emissions in chilled, cavitated deuterated acetone.
