19890815~LLNL-JC-Farmer.pdf
J.C. Farmer, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
No evidence for nuclear fusion, just a shitload 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.

F.T. Aldridge et al. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Highlights: Electrolytic cell explosion report (Note: Cathode was under water at time of explosion.)
19890914-ERAB-LLNL-report.pdf
Multiple authors, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Highlights: Li-6/Li-7 shift, more details on Farmer analysis

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."

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.)
