Japan LENR project sponsored through NEDO...

Steven Krivit of New Energy Times reports here the sponsorship of LENR projects though NEDO (Industrial Technology Development Organization).

http://news.newenergytimes.net…ship-in-lenrs-continues/4

Akito Takahashi reports a project "The nano-metal hydrogen energy project (NEDO-MHE)" is adopted conditionally and started on Oct 2015.

A project "The joint research team (Nano-METS)" involve Technova, but also Nissan, and 4 university Tohoku but also Kyushu,Nagoya and Kobe.
It involves Takahashi (Toyota/Technova) but also Iwamura (MHI), Nakamura (Nissan), Kitamura (Technova and Kube U), Kishida (Kyushu U), Hioki (Nagoya U).

@sengakut publish an article about Impact program wher there is reference to LENR research

Reference to condensed nuclear science of ImPACT in the group separation and transmutation technology evaluation Working Group

In the Ministry of Education of the "nuclear science and technology committee group separation and transmutation technology evaluation Working Group (9th) proceedings", Fujita Reiko program manager of ImPACT is described condensed nuclear science (cold fusion) We will introduce this was because there is that part. Although you'll be taken for granted as a project description, see the character of "condensation system (nuclear science)" and "cold fusion" in the Proceedings of the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and it will have a fresh feel.

...
page 23 under the eyes half, we were looking for ideas for a new nuclear reaction control. In fact, if there are 10 applicants, we have tentatively adopted the eight teams in the fact that one year of feasibility. Tokyo City University, Tohoku University, group and Tohoku University of Japan Atomic Energy Agency, MHI, then NIFS, Mid, Osaka 2 and nuclear mechanism, RIKEN, then Kyoto, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Univ. Hyogo Prefecture, a group called Atomic Energy Agency It is. Although first is a 24-page, a group of urban universities, use the cold neutron.In was the idea that the very efficiency of transmutation increases With the cold neutron, which is if I have feasibility one year we have evaluated. In the second condensation system, which is did things but I think there you have heard the term cold fusion in around 1989, which was converted this to the transmutation, in fact, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries this if there is also the fact that researchers had been developed in the main has been move to Tohoku University, is what Tohoku University and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are working jointly .

Introduction of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science at Tohoku University

A new division devoted to Condensed Matter Nuclear Reactions (CMNR) was established at the Research Center for Electron Photon Science of Tohoku University in April 2015.
This is the first official research division for condensed matter nuclear science and its application in Japan. This division consist of researchers from Tohoku University, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Clean Planet Inc., who have been actively engaged in the field of CMNR. In this division, fundamental research on condensed matter nuclear reaction, and R&D on energy generation and nuclear waste decontamination, will be performed.

A research program aimed toward the confirmation of anomalous excess heat using nano-metals, which is sponsored through the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), began on October 26, 2015. A joint research team of six institutions (two companies: Technova and Nissan; four universities: Tohoku, Kyushu, Nagoya and Kobe) will carry out the first year program until October 31, 2016.

Nuclear transmutation research will performed with funding from the ImPACT program. Pr, which is transmuted from Cs, will be re-confirmed by other methods such as RBS (Rutherford Backscattering). We will confirm that Pr is transmuted from Cs by RBS. Stable Zr, Se and Pd transmutation will be tried using the transmutation method in the nanosized Pd complexes induced by D2 gas permeation. If we obtain the positive results, we will be able to go to the next stage. We will make transmutation experiments using radioactive isotopes for nuclear radioactive waste decontamination after FY2016.

And no media covers it in the West.
Even Fortune, Nikkei, Aftenposten, La Tribune, triggered no wave of insults, doubts or enthusiasm.
only wave of silence.
