Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

A method for studying deuterium-deuterium fusion neutron production in condensed matter together with experimental results are presented. The method is based on long-term measurements for comparison among different cells with electrolytically charged palladium cylinders and background. The statistical method used for data reduction is presented, which enables identification of even very small effects. In the experiment, for an ∼100-h period an excess counting rate of ∼3 count/h (averaged for this period) above the background level was found.
