One thing I've noticed with those who 'could not repeat the experiment'
always seem to doctor it in some way, hoping to discover their own way
to produce the same effect... or so they claim.
Keep in mind also that Oak Ridge has a vested interest in disproving
experiments like this, because they presage cheap, easy to access fusion
energy, which is totally anathema to multi-billion dollar science and
engineering R&D budgets.
Note the last paragraph of the story, that the Oak Ridge people likely
had their instruments improperly calibrated.
