New Energy Times Archive of the 1989 Department of Energy "Cold Fusion" Review
  x
These documents were used internally as part of the 1989 review. The source for many of them was Richard Garwin, a member of the review panel. Hundreds of other documents are available in the New Energy Times Richard Garwin Cold Fusion Archive.
 
19890522-ORNL-Scott.pdf
Charles D. Scott, et al., DOE Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Heat and neutrons.
19890612-ERAB-Bockris-to-ERAB.pdf
Essential reading for anyone considering doing LENR electrolysis
19890614-Garwin-to-Bockris.pdf
Garwin's denial of the Bockris tritium, based on its disagreement with neutrons, based on Garwin's reliance on theory to dismiss experimental results.
19890621-ERAB-visit-TAMU.pdf
David Goodwin, 1989 panel technical advisor, DOE staff member. Summary of "cold fusion" research performed at the TAMU Center for Electrochemical Systems and Hydrogen Research.

Here's the most important statement in the report: "ERAB Panel members have requested that copies of this summary of what was reported not be distributed beyond the ERAB Panel and the DOE distribution list."

William Woodard, 1989 panel secretary, DOE staff member
Summary of "cold fusion" research performed by DOE national labs
19890701-ERAB-neutrons-metadata.pdf

Final version of the Interim Report of the panel
19890815~LLNL-JC-Farmer.pdf
J.C. Farmer, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
No evidence for nuclear fusion, just a boatload of new elements detected on the post-electrolytic cathode. Cathode evaluated was used at Texas A&M and had produced excess heat.
19890828-Woodard-Iyengar-BARC.pdf
Panel members given copy of BARC report. Neutrons detected with multiple detectors. Excess neutrons and tritium levels (three orders of magnitude higher) detected by two groups in each of six experiments.
19890914-ERAB-Hutchinson-ORNL-experiment-report
Oak Ridge researchers Hutchinson et al. report excess heat in response to panel's request for results
19890914-ERAB-LLNL-report.pdf
Multiple authors, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Highlights: Li-6/Li-7 shift, more details on Farmer analysis
19890925-ERAB-SCKCEN.pdf
Belgian Nuclear Research Center thermal anomaly
19891004-ERAB-Fusion-Products-Draft-Schiffer-to-Garwin.pdf
John Schiffer's draft of the panel's fusion products section
Sent to Garwin, and showing Garwin's responses
19891019-ERAB-Goodwin-report-on-NSF-EPRI.pdf
David Goodwin, 1989 panel technical advisor and DOE staff member
List of 8 positive results reported at NSF/EPRI meeting, sent to DOE panel members
19891022-ERAB-Schiffer-Garwin-NSF-Menlove.pdf
Richard Garwin's response to positive results reported at NSF/EPRI meeting
"It's ridiculous...I just don't believe it."
19891023-ERAB-Schiffer-Garwin-NSF-EPRI.pdf
John Schiffer's response to positive results reported at NSF/EPRI meeting
"I do not take any of the data seriously ... my inclination is to ignore it and proceed as we had planned."
19891025-ERAB-Final-Meeting-agenda.pdf
William Woodard, 1989 panel secretary, DOE staff member
Tells panel members that NRL researchers Debra Rolison and William O'Grady don't want to report their data in in open public session.
19891108-ERAB-Final.pdf
Final version of the DOE ERAB "Cold Fusion" Panel Report. (Note: This report was written by the non-DOE panel members, not by the DOE. The DOE selected and trusted these panel members to provide a fair and honest evaluation of the research. Having no reason to think otherwise, the DOE put its name on this report.)
