Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

Excess heat evolution was measured on nickel, gold, silver, and tin in aqueous K2CO3, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, and Li2SO4 solutions under galvanostatic electrolysis conditions. Steady evolution of excess heat in various electrode-electrolyte systems, but not in Ni/Na2CO3, Ni/Na2SO4, and Ni/Li2SO4, was observed for at least several days of observation. The largest excess heat observed was 907 mW on tin in K2SO4.
