MARVEL PDSA approval could serve as blueprint
MARVEL, the Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation project at Idaho National Laboratory, has had its preliminary documented safety analysis approved by the Department of Energy, marking a milestone in its development and serving as a potential outline for other microreactors in development.

Experimental reports continue to suggest that the crystalline solid state may present a unique environment for deuteron-deuteron (d-d) fusion at ambient temperature (cold fusion). The analysis herein shows that newly reported cluster-impact d-d fusion at energies ∼100 eV has much in common with coldfusion and might appropriately be called lukewarm fusion. Both phenomena evidently need a novel theoretical approach for their understanding. A deuteron effective mass approach is proposed as a possible explanation of the reported experimental results.
