Thanks to Joseph J for posting about a report that has been published by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) titled “Investigation of Nano-Nuclear Reactions in Condensed Matter”. The report is written by Pamela Mosier-Boss of SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific, Lawrence Forsely of JWK International and Patrick K. McDaniel of the University of New Mexico.
According to Wikipedia the DTRA “is an agency within the United States Department of Defense and is the official Combat Support Agency for countering weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosives). DTRA’s main functions are threat reduction, threat control, combat support, and technology development. The agency is headquartered in Fort Belvoir, Virginia”
It is not clear to me exactly when the report was written, but the final page of the document shows a form which shows when various approvals have been given. The most recent references listed in the report are from 2012, so it appears that it has been circulating within the agency for a few years prior to this release. This paper was given approval for public release on Jun 7 2016 by the Public Affairs department of the DTRA.
The report itself is very lengthy and from a cursory reading is an analysis of the scientific evidence for nuclear reactions occurring in the metal lattice in LENR systems. The report focuses on the palladium-deuterium systems which were introduced in 1989 by Pons and Fleischmann.

Wow.
I hope the Arabs like the taste of sand.
Cold fusion conspiracy theory. Yes, the government wants the only working E-CAT prototype (cat litter not included) so they can put it in a warehouse next to the 500 mpg carbeurator they aquired years ago that we all heard about.
If my entire economy were based on oil, and I made a killing every day off of it, I’d hide cold fusion too.
Just hope they don’t put it near the ARK.
They’ll just get their half-breed slave Osama to put the kibosh on it.
What good would cold fusion be?? And how do you do this without creating Friction? And friction is needed to create steam and power turbines.
What? (I hope you forgot the sarcasm tag, right?) Do you want to rub two nuclei together or something? I’m game, ‘what happens when you do that?’

Usually, it creates three identical posts on Free Republic.
Wow! It does ! There could be a TV series from this!
Why post three answers? Anyway, no sarcasm tag. If you rub two nuclei together, you get heat. It would not be cold fusion.
1. You've got the wrong government agency. This is something that would be put out by the Department of Energy, not DTRA. The person perpetrating this just grabbed a random agency (something with the word "nuclear" in it) and ran with them.
2. DTRA's website and DTIC have nothing about this on their websites.
3. If this report were released through DTRA, wouldn't E-Cat just link to that PDF instead of hosting their own?
4. When searching on the faculty of University of New Mexico, Dr. Patrick K. McDaniel does not exist.
E-Cat World = E-Cat Litter, disregard or don your foil hat now.

If only we could harness this phenomenon to produce electricity!
Unlike this LENR cold fusion scam.
Posting three response wasn’t done by me on purpose it was my laptop. It was rubbing nuclei together and the electrons fell off!
One other thing: it seems like University of New Mexico would have something about this on their website. They don’t.
I think this is him — on the UNM website he goes by Pat.

One other thing about this report: the US Government does not put copyrights on their reports that are approved for public-release. If you want to, you can drop $10,000 at Kinko's and wallpaper your house with it.
