This is the first update to Part 1 of the summary of CNF experiments. To
install these changes, rename your copy of Part 1 to "Fusion.1.2", then
feed this article to Larry Wall's "patch" program either by piping it
from your newsreader or with the command "patch < CNF-patch.1.1" modulo
file and directory names. If you don't have the patch command, or you
simply don't want to bother, a complete copy of the revised Part 1 will
be posted to the net in a few weeks.

This update includes additional information on the poison Appleby at
TAMU used, the Santhanam/TIFR paper, the Bariloche results, and the
very little known about the Storms/Talcott experiment at LANL, as
well as minor corrections and additions to previously reported experiments.

        An earlier posting quoted The Deseret News about an ongoing

arrangement between the General Electric Corporation and the University o
Utah. Since I live close by G.E. Corporate Headquarters in Fairfield, CT,
called their PR offices to see what the Corporation had to say.  Shortly
making my inquiry, I received a call from Mr. Charles Young at G.E.'s
Corporate Research and Development Center In Schenectady. Mr. Young read
six paragraph statement which he said had been formulated this afternoon.
follows, and if it is not accurately transcribed I am responsible for the
errors:
        "Since shortly after the announcement by the University of Utah
         of their fusion research results, G.E. has been investigating
         this technology initially independent of and then under a
         confidential agreement with the University.
 
        "Recently, to advance this level of effort, G.E. has agreed to
         assign one of its scientists to Salt Lake City to work with the
         various groups at the University of Utah, and to maintain a leve
         of effort at its central research and development center of thre
         scientists, all aimed at confirming what processes might be taki
         place in the electrochemical cells at Utah and Schenectady.
 
        "This undertaking does not indicate any confirmation, or lack of
         confirmation by G.E. of the presence of a fusion process, but
         rather is an indication of the importance to humanity that any
         fusion or nuclear transformation process might have, should such
         be possible.
 
        "G.E. has sole discretion as to how long its effort will be
         maintained and presently plans to pursue it only as long as rese
         progress is being made toward answering the question as to what
         is happening in the electrochemical cells.
 
        "G.E. and the University of Utah have also discussed a funding an
         licensing agreement that would apply should significant levels o
         excess energy be mutually proven."
 
         END OF STATEMENT
 
I had a hundred and one questions ready for Mr. Young, but he was using t
corporate nickel so I thanked him and asked if this could be posted, and
said it could.

The following appeared in the San Jose Mercury News, July 6, 1989,
quoted without permission, paragraphing mine:

'Cold fusion' will undergo a government trial by fire
By David Ansley, Mercury News Science and Medicine Editor

The "cold fusion" claims that have ensnared the scientific world for
more than three months will be put to an independent, government-run
test.  The Department of Energy scientist who will lead the inquiry
said Wednesday that the University of Utah has agreed to let him
distribute pieces of metal from the cold fusion experimental apparatus
to five laboratories around the country.  There, experts will examine
the metal for traces of helium, crucial evidence that fusion has taken
place.  "The University of Utah and the scientific community want to
understand whether (cold fusion) is true or not," John Morrey, a staff
scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest Laboratory
near Richland, Wash., told the Mercury News.

The cold fusion claims have come under increasing criticism as
scientists have struggled to duplicate the remarkable claims of
creating energy in a jar.  Such a test will be "definitive," said
Philip Ross, a Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Materials scientist.
"It's the only way we'll get the matter settled."  The results won't
be known until September, Morrey said.

The uproar began March 23, when University of Utah Professor B.
Stanley Pons and his collaborator, Martin Fleishmann of England's
University of Southampton, said they had produced great amounts of
heat by running a current through a piece of the metal palladium in a
flask of "heavy water" --- made with deuterium, a heavy form of
hydrogen.  Because they couldn't imagine a chemical reaction that
could yield such heat, they concluded that it must be coming from
deuterium atoms fusing inside the palladium electrodes.  If this were
true and if it could be put to practical use, the reaction could mean
abundant and inexpensive energy from water, which contains plentiful
amounts of deuterium.

In the months since then, several laboratories have collected
tantalizing evidence that supports Pons and Fleishmann.  But most
laboratories have found nothing and some have given up the search.  In
fact, today's issue of the British science journal Nature, which has
published much of the cold fusion debate, includes an editorial
saying, "The time has come to dismiss cold fusion as an illusion."

One of the few things that cold fusion's believers and skeptics agree
on is this: If any deuterium atoms were fused together, they would
form helium atoms that would remain trapped in the palladium.  Helium
is "the most substantial" evidence of fusion, Fleishmann has said.
"If you don't find helium, it's dead," said Nathan Lewis, a California
Institute of Technology chemist who has become one of cold fusion's
more vocal critics.  Several other laboratories conducting cold fusion
experiments have melted their palladium electrodes but found no
helium, Lewis said.

Researchers at Stanford University, who said their experimental
apparatus produced a lot of heat, have been moving to a new laboratory
and have not looked for helium.  The Energy Department and top
university laboratories in the past have offered to examine Pons and
Fleishmann's electrodes for helium.  Pons and Fleishmann have politely
but firmly turned them down, saying the tests were to be done
elsewhere.  But no such results have been reported, and a University
of Utah spokeswoman was unable on Wednesday to say whether anyone had
ever carried out those tests.

Morrey, the Energy Department scientist supervising the new tests,
said the program was proposed two weeks ago by Hugo Rossi, interim
director of the University of Utah's cold fusion project.  After
working out the details, Morrey sent out letters last weekend to
several laboratories capable of testing palladium for helium, asking
if they would be willing to participate.  He hasn't heard back
officially, but "there has been a very positive response," Morrey
said.  He intends to select five laboratories to carry out the
examination.  "The experiment is well-designed," Morrey said, but he
was reluctant to discuss its details for fear of somehow skewing the
results. 

He'll send the labs pieces of palladium from Pons and Fleishmann's
apparatus, apparently along with "control" samples that contain no
helium.  In a well-designed experiment, the researchers would not know
which palladium came from Pons and Fleishmann.  If it's done properly,
"that would be a very good test," said Lewis of Caltech.  "I'm very
pleased."  The laboratories will send their findings back to Morrey,
who will compile them during the first week of September.  The results
won't immediately be made public, Morrey said.  He intends to report
the results in a scientific journal first.
