DTRA’s advancements in nuclear and radiological detection
A new, more complex nuclear age has begun. Echoing the tensions of the Cold War amid rapidly evolving nuclear and radiological threats, preparedness in the modern age is a contest of scientific innovation. The Research and Development Directorate (RD) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is charged with winning this contest.

A careful study of “abnormal” nuclear phenomena in a cold fusion experiment indicates that cold fusion is a new problem in ultralow energy, and we cannot use the traditional idea of deuteron-deuteron fusion to understand and appraise cold fusion. The contradiction between the new phenomena and traditional theory is analyzed, and a possible new nuclear process is suggested.
