A Review of Experiments Reporting Non-Conventional Phenomena in Nuclear Matter Aiming at Identifying Common Features in View of Possible Interpretation
Thanks, is hot off the press. I appreciate the long term line of thought they are proposing here, coherent with their background appraisal of the relevance of the energy density threshold to achieve LENR effects.

Scotch Tape Unleashes X-Ray Power (Published 2008)In a tour de force of office supply physics, researchers have shown that it is possible to produce X-rays by simply unrolling Scotch tape.www.nytimes.com

In relation with my current job i have had to treat a pb regarding electrical insulation about glue sticking both cells together.
I learn from the glue supplier that glue, polymers tend to retain water as Pd retain hydrogen in cold fusion.
in this way, maybe some humidity trapped inside your tape could play a role too ?
As we know regarding the Lenr litterature, in some cases , water seems to be needed and sometime not.

Scotch Tape Unleashes X-Ray Power
By Kenneth Chang
Oct. 23, 2008
In a tour de force of office supply physics, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have shown that it is possible to produce X-rays by simply unrolling Scotch tape.
Next step: nuclear fusion.

The wording below is an initial machine translation of the original publication.
"FIG. 1 The invention relates to methods for producing x-ray radiation, based on the occurrence of electron emission in case of contact failure between the bodies. A known method for producing x-ray radiation in the event of adhesive contact is broken, which consists in continuously rolling a flat body under a roller under atmospheric conditions 1. The disadvantage of this method is that x-ray radiation is observed only directly in the contact zone, i.e. It is impossible to obtain a stable and directed radiation flux. Closest to the invention is a method for producing x-ray radiation, which consists in breaking the adhesive contact between two elements when they are relatively moved in vacuum 2. A disadvantage of the known method, in which a roller and a sticky polymer film were used as contacting elements, is the impossibility of any noticeable regulation of the parameters of the received radiation, stabilization of these parameters. The purpose of the invention is the expansion of the regulation of the parameters of the received radiation. This goal is achieved by the fact that according to the method of obtaining x-ray radiation, which consists in breaking contact between the two elements when they are relatively moved in a vacuum, a plane dielectric or insulated metal body is used as one of the elements, and a roller coated with a fleecy material is used as the other element, the roller is rotated with a linear speed of its rubbing surface of 1 -10 m / s at a pressure of clamping to a flat body of 0.5-2.0 g / cm. In FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an apparatus for implementing a method for producing x-ray radiation" ....

I wrote what I think is a pretty useful pre-print paper published for ICCF25. It could use some peer-review and constructive criticism before I submit it for publication with Arxiv.
Here is the link: Using Machine Learning for LENR
It is a pretty dense technical research paper and my first time attempting to officially publish a research paper, so any feedback would be appreciated. -

SYNTHESIS OF THE Ti-Zr-Ni ALLOYS BY THE "HYDRIDE CYCLE" METHOD

By John Maddox
"Scientific Correspondent of the Manchester Guardian"
Pamphlet published by the Manchester Guardian, 1958.
n.b. Yes, this is the very same John Maddox who was editor of Nature from 1980 to 1995.
(I'm sure JedRothwell will find it interesting that Maddox had been such a fan-boy of Zeta, back in 1958. Maybe it left him feeeling so devastated at his own ability to be taken-in by the claims, that he felt an ongoing personal need to attack anything that didn't fit into his particular model of the world.)

At Culham today I got talking to a non-scientific staff member about the Jet Torus project. which he tells me is now completely shut down, with selected equipment moved to ITER. They left the Tokamak however. I wonder who will pay for de-commissioning that?
-
They left the Tokamak however.
It is hundreds of tonnes - and the structure, as well as the walls of the large room that contains it, will be screaming (as the saying goes) due to them being activated by all the flying neutrons, when testing. The safest (and cheapest) thing to do would be to seal up the room, and just leave it there.
They might have to do that for a few years, at least, until the more active, and shorter half life, activation products have decayed enough to even think about chopping things up and sending the bits to a radioactive waste repository.

I enquired about the contamination problem and was breezily told 'it's just Tritium, a natural thing, not a problem, it's even found in the sea.

When I lived in Abingdon, in the late 80s, I knew a chap that occcasionally had to climb into the torus to carry out inspections. As well as wearing the usual protective clothing, he was strictly timed to limit his accumulated dose. At that point the device had only been fired up a few times - and only at relatively low power levels.
However, the repeated mantra that "fusion is clean" has become so ingrained that nobody dares say anything else, when asked.
