A precursor to the “cold fusion” phenomenon in deuterium/solid systems is sought in order to solve the problem of reproducibility. The results of the first experiments are discussed. Electromagnetic radiation and energetic charged particles have been detected. It is shown that the surface condition has an important effect on this phenomenon.
