Here's one for Ludwik Kowalski.
A Navy report details an electrodeposition cell: Pd and D on Ag with
CR-39 monitoring of nuclear events...
SPAWAR Technical Report 1862, Thermal and Nuclear Aspects
of the Pd/D 2O System, Vol. 1:
A Decade of Research at Navy Laboratories,
S. Szpak and P. A. Mosier-Boss, eds.,
Space Warfare Systems Center,
San Diego, CA, 92152-5001
...as reported here:

"Scientists at the U.S. Navy's San Diego SPAWAR Systems Center
have produced something unique in the 17-year history of the scientific
drama historically known as cold fusion: simple, portable, highly
repeatable, unambiguous, and permanent physical evidence of nuclear
events using detectors that have a long track record of reliability
and acceptance among nuclear physicists."
pointed out in Theory-edge list today.
Which reminds me: while driving a friend to an optometrist's
office for a post-cataract check recently (even optometrists
can have offices and assistants like opthalmologists these days...)
a person who was fitting and selling glasses gave me a
review of the current state of things.
I started by saying that the titanium frames and sprung
hinges on Walmart's reading glasses suit my needs quite well,
though I scratch them regularly. She mentioned a current plastic
lens material: CR-39
Yes, this was the material that Ludwik went to some lengths to
obtain from a British source, and it turns out you can go to
the nearest optician's for a sample! (Though I hasten to add,
not in the thin sheet that makes caustic etch development
a reasonable process)
Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
