News from 'Cold Fusion' Conference: Furor has Subsided, Says University of Dayton Chemistry Professor; Dissuasion? Some Scholars Call for New Vocabulary to Replace "Nuclear Deterrence"

Abstract

Feature leads for the media: University of Dayton chemistry professor Robert G. Keil comments on "cold fusion," saying the furor and excitement has waned since a researcher at the University of Utah announced that he had sustained a nuclear fusion reaction in a flask. "Do we have a new power source? Probably not," Keil said. Also, 50 scholars who attended a seminar on nuclear deterrence at the U.S. Institute of Peace are calling for new vocabulary to define nuclear deterrence.
