Whenever I've read of people studying this effect who've disavowed 'cold fusion', it wasn't that they were disavowing a nuclear reaction, but rather the idea that this type of fusion is the 'same' type of fusion found by combining deuterium molecules into helium. I don't think they mean that it isn't a nuclear reaction. Craig
