Since the announcement of the original experimental results, many experiments have been performed to try to reproduce them. None has found the expected amounts of helium3 nor the expected numbers or energy of the neutrons. However, evidence is accumulating that energy generation, associated with some type of nuclear effect, is now reproducable. Certainly energy production and power levels too large for any conventional explanation have been demonstrated. So far seven international conferences have been held and research work is continuing mainly in Japan and Italy.
Cold fusion is an interesting challenge both to the experimentalists and to the theorists.
