    Does Italian Demo Show Cold Fusion, or Snake Oil? - Today, Wired.co.uk is running a story, 'Cold fusion rears its head as "E-Cat" research promises to change the world.' It gives an overview of the technology that claims to fuse hydrogen and nickel into copper, with no radioactive by-products, to produce copious amounts of heat, inexpensively, with a 1 megawatt plant scheduled to come on line later this month. Apparently, Wired was not aware that today is a big test in Italy by scientists from around the world, who will be observing the technology in operation, including self-looped mode.

    Cold Fusion during the Cold War - During the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union, Filimonenko Ivan Stepanovich developed and patented a cold fusion technology. Although it never reached commercialization, it is a reminder that cold fusion has a history that predates by more than 2x the 23 years since Pons and Fleishman. (PESN and BeforeItsNews; July 17, 2011)
  • Featured / Best Exotic FE: Nuclear > Cold Fusion > Rossi >
    Cold Fusion - For Real? - Last night on Coast to Coast AM, Linda Moulton Howe gave an excellent overview of cold fusion, interviewing MIT's Peter Hagelstein, who said regarding the energy crisis: "I think this cold fusion area could produce exactly the viable alternative that would make the biggest difference." The interview ended with a review of Rossi's E-Cat now emerging commercially. (EarthFiles; June 30, 2011)

    Midwest Floods: Both Nebraska Nuclear Power Stations Threatened - Nuclear engineer explains that cooling pumps must operate continuously, even years after a plant is shut down. The Ft. Calhoun plant, which stores its fuel rods at ground level, is already partly submerged. "There are a lot of nuclear plants on both the Missouri and Mississippi and they can all go to hell fast.” (Global Research; June 16, 2011)
  • Nuclear >
    Germany is shutting down its nuclear program. Do you agree with the decision? - Germany said it would close all of its 17 nuclear reactors by 2022, a sharp policy reversal that will make it the first major economy to quit atomic power in the wake of the nuclear crisis in Japan. What do you think? Are safe, sustainable alternative forms of energy ready to fuel the needs of the industrialized world? (Wall Street Journal; June 2, 2011)

    Towards a nuclear (very) own? (translated) - On 14 January this year at the University of Bologna (Italy) held a demonstration of a device using the principle of the controversial cold fusion. The scientific community, for the most part, remains skeptical. The novelty in this case? Designers announce the launching of the first thermal power plant using the device by October 2011. (Agoravox; May 23, 2011)
  • Nuclear > Drawbacks > Meltdown > Fukushima >
    Fukushima Meltdown Might Have Come With Earthquake, Not Tsunami - As the data from the Fukushima reactor is being reviewed, it looks like the meltdown happened much earlier: 'The fuel rods in the No. 1 reactor were completely exposed to the air and rapidly heating five hours after the quake.' Apparently, the earthquake had caused a crack in the containment vessel. Which means, that even without the generators failing, the meltdown might still have happened. (Reuters; May 16, 2011) 
  • Featured / Best Exotic FE: Nuclear > Cold Fusion > Rossi >
    Cold fusion economy supported by Greek government - Spiegel Online has obtained information from German government sources knowledgeable of the situation in Athens indicating that Papandreou’s government is considering abandoning the euro and reintroducing its own currency... backed by profits of E-Cat manufacturing and licensing, estimated in the hundreds of trillions of dollars.

    TVA Does a Great Job Averting Nuclear Emergency - Paul Noel congratulates the way the TVA responded to the Brownsferry nuclear plant that had all 6 major 500kV lines to it cut by the recent tornadoes, quickly getting one line back up to run the emergency cooling system (which were running on diesel generators) to keep the large nuclear reactors from melting down. (PESN; May 9, 2011)
  • Nuclear > Remediation > Brown's Gas >
    Brown's Gas and Radioactivity - George Wiseman explains how Brown's Gas can be used to accelerate the nuclear decay process to happen in seconds instead of millennia, by mixing the radioactive material with equal quantities of iron and aluminum, and heating the whole mixture to liquid using a BG flame until it explodes, making thermite -- a process that might be feasible for neutralizing CONCENTRATED nuclear waste, like spent fuel rods.

    No fear of radiation from cold fusion - Today’s nuclear fission reactors are more than a poor choice for a primary energy source because of the growing risk of contamination by radioactive materials. Humans are not ready to take the responsibility for disaster that could last for geological time.... Why go down this path when there exists an alternative ultra-clean nuclear power? Low-energy nuclear reactions LENR.... (Cold Fusion Now; April 3, 2011)

    Zirconium Flavored Cold Fusion from the Ukraine - Ukranian inventor, Professor Bolotov, has developed a cold fusion reactor based on the transmutation of Zirconium to other elements. He claims a system could have an input of 5 kW and an output of 200 kW. This is from a system that only costs 10,000 euro to build. It was demonstrated for academic review on March 25. (PESN; March 30, 2011)
  • Nuclear > Thorium >
    Thorium: A Cheap, Clean and Safe Alternative to Uranium - Thorium reactors can consume their own hazardous waste and even scavenge the plutonium left by uranium reactors, acting as an eco-cleaner. A metric ton of the silvery metal produces as much energy as 200 tons of uranium, or 3,500,000 ton of coal. A handful would power a major city for a week. (OilPrice; September 14, 2010)

    Japan scrambles to avert nuclear meltdown - Officials worked desperately to stop fuel rods in the damaged reactors from overheating... The government said a building housing a second reactor was at risk of exploding after a blast blew the roof off the first the day before at the complex, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo. The fear is that if the fuel rods do not cool, they could melt the container that houses the core, or even explode, releasing radioactive material into the wind.

    Italian scientists claim to invent cold fusion - (A fairly decent overview of the main points, but leans heavy on the skeptical tone, and exhibits an obvious lack of appreciation of the extensive science behind the field in general. But at least they covered it -- something very few news agencies are doing, yet; the previous one being Discovery two days ago.) (TechEye.net; January , 2011)
  • Best Exotic FE: Nuclear > Cold Fusion > Rossi >
    Cold Fusion Claims Resurface - Discovery's coverage of the Italian breakthrough is even more pathetic that Popular Science, saying "Pons and Fleischmann ... remain adamant that their research was valid, though no one has been able to reproduce their findings"; when it has been reproduced roughly 17,000 times. Mainstream publications are digging their grave by such ridiculous idiocy. (Discovery; January 21, 2011)
