There are many reasons for this. Association with the
University of Utah (and its president, Peterson) was the
main reason, I think. The history of the discovery would
be very different if the agreement made with Jones was
not broken, or if the two teams merged to work for another
year or two before publishing anything. One official from
the Department of Energy was trying to produce such
merge but he was not successful.
Very short biographies of Fleischmann, Pons and Jones
(copied from a good book) are at my web site:
