*Laser-induced synthesis and decay of Tritium under exposure of solid targets in heavy water * There is an area a science where orthodox science gradually descends into pseudoscience as the power that activates the induced nuclear reaction decreases. Recent theoretical work shows the capability of laser radiation to directly excite nuclear levels of energy. However, exciting a nuclear transition would require an X-ray or gamma-ray lasers with an intensity greater than 10^^20 Watts/cm2. When asked, most scientists would consider this type of laser experiment to be included in the realm of authentic science. This type of experiment is reproducible, easy to analyze, and dependable. However, when laser irradiation is combined with nanoparticles suspended in a liquid (colloidal solution) the activation level of the nuclear reaction drops to a peak laser intensity levels of 10^^10 - 10^^13 W/cm2. This low level of reaction stimulation is below the level that is going on in a Ni/H reactor which is at least 10^^15 W/cm2. So pseudoscience is determined by the power level of the activation of the reaction. If logic is used in scientific thinking, the definition of valid science can be precisely quantified by the power level of the activation of the nuclear reaction.
