- Bruce Scott talks about He-3 or T induced secondary reactions as a
- source of high energy fusion output. If this were important, then He-3
- or T experiments would have been done. In fact, I know of an
- unpublished search for CNF using a sample loaded with multi-curies of
- tritium and no ...no... indications of fusion were observed. This was
- done a couple of years ago.
-
- Bruce Scott also guesses that D + D --> He-4 violates some quantum
- selection rule, but I do not believe that is the case.
