Bob Park Concedes Possible Reality of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction Research

It's been 18 years since the University of Utah first announced Pons and Fleischmann's "cold fusion" findings. To celebrate their birthday, low energy nuclear reactions (formerly known as cold fusion) are back in the news in a big way. See below for two reports. Then click on the New Energy Times links to learn more about these new developments in the LENR field.

Readers wishing to learn more about this experiment can find more information in the following New Energy Times articles:

Excerpt:
Fleischmann's ACS report is a re-presentation of research from the 1990s, showing that his calorimetry measurements were accurate. Bob Park, at the University of Maryland, U.S., agrees, but concedes that "there are some curious reports - not cold fusion, but people may be seeing some unexpected low-energy nuclear reactions."

What Park is referring to in this excerpt is known as the Widom-Larsen theory, which asserts that most of the anomalous effects that have been labeled "cold fusion" are a new form of low-energy nuclear reaction. New Energy Times has reported on this theory on several occasions:
