Deep geologic repository progress—2025 Update
Editor's note: This article has was originally published in November 2023. It has been updated with new information as of June 2025.
Outside my office, there is a display case filled with rock samples from all over the world. It contains a disk of translucent, orange salt from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, N.M.; a core of white-and-bronze gneiss from the site of the future deep geologic repository in Eurajoki, Finland; several angular chunks of fine-grained, gray claystone from the underground research laboratory at Bure, France; and a piece of coarse-grained granite from the underground research tunnel in Daejeon, South Korea.

Most recent papers on cold fusion have been devoted to experimental procedures and the results of nuclear product detection efforts. There is a lack of data on the state of the sample after the experiments. These data may shed some light on the process that leads to nuclear reactions. An attempt is made to relate the composition and surface morphology of deuterides to the observed anomalous nuclear events.
