Srinivasan thought he replicated this at BARC. He got heat and tritium. Then he spent 6 months at SRI trying to do it again. He finally concluded that his results were caused by recombination. That was a noble effort. He went back to India and tried again, looking for tritium only, with no calorimetry. They saw some tritium this time, but not as much. I recall some other people tried to replicate, without success. The results were not encouraging. I do not understand why Thermacore abandoned this. It is one of many discouraging failures. The failure to follow through. - Jed
