1) Thank you for the link:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/242284200/Observation-of-abundant-heat-production-from-a-reactor-device-and-of-isotopic-changes-in-the-fuel
to the 2014 "e-cat report," Isotopic changes in the fuel," by G. Levi (Bologna
University) and E. Fusch
(Upsala University)--"Observation of Abundant Heat Production from a
Reactor Device and of isotopic Changes in the Fuel."
2) Does anyone know why it was published in the ecatword, rather than in a
refereed journal, like our CMNS?
