COMMENTS & REPLIES Efforts to explain low-energy nuclear reactions

reaction ” (Storms 2007) has now reached a stage when expla-nations are attracting attention. The major experimental work was summarized by Storms in 2010 (Storms 2010). Now, Krivit has cited “errors ” in this review which he believes might guide an explanation in the wrong direction. He notes that heat, detected using light hydrogen and when transmuta-tion occurred, was frequently overlooked in this review. In addition, in his opinion, the claim for d + d = 4He being the major source of heat is not supported by the cited evidence. Because the conclusion reached by Krivit (2013) is a direct challenge to what Storms (2010) reviewed in the cited paper, a summary of the evidence is required. Although many studies resulting in heat production using deuterium did not attempt to measure helium, over 16 independent studies using numerous samples found that helium was present when energy produc
