I was surprised not to find any messages from Radsafe on my computer when I
came in this morning. Perhaps we Radsafers are all just extremely busy today!

As far as cold fusion goes, I read somewhere that all the publicity which
certain US Universities received on the subject was wipped up by an
over-riding desire to publish first, even if the data collected was not yet
conclusive.

If anyone has any further info on Cold Fusion, I certainly would like to
hear about it.
