The organization was made possible thanks to the efficient support of the company Prometheus, which is a local research player committed to the study and promotion of new energy sources. Prometheus, which has been working in this field for several years and observes the recent progress on a global scale, has decided to communicate widely on the subject of LENR energy sources in order to raise awareness among the public and decision-makers about the birth of this new branch of industry, which will offer tremendous opportunities, but also require a considerable increase in the research effort. We were invited by Prometheus to add our voice to theirs to reinforce the message, hence the choice to hold the IWAHLM-17 Workshop at Kilometro Rosso. Prometheus is taking care of all local organizational aspects of the workshop. This help is immensely valuable and the SFSNMC thanks Prometheus a lot for the flawless cooperation during the preparation of the event as well as during the conference days. The IWALM-17 workshop from March 24 to 26 follows a one-day public conference organized by Prometheus on March 23. The participants of the IWAHLM-17 workshop are gracefully invited to attend the March 23 meeting, and it is an additional reason to thank Prometheus. In parallel to the conferences an exhibition will give the opportunity to observe objects related to our science and to discuss face-to-face with the exhibitors. When the time comes to leave, what will remain will be the presentations we have listened to and the debates that will have nourished the discussion. The success of the conference will be mainly due to the contributions of the participants. I warmly thank all the authors of the oral presentations, posters and exhibitions. I hope that these meetings will meet your expectations. The recent progress made by the various research teams around the world suggests that reactors capable of providing abundant and environmentally friendly energy will soon be developed. I am sure that all of you share this hope.

Keynote lecture by Pr. David Nagel during the conference The Third Way to Nuclear on Monday March 23, 2026 The Status, Momentum and Potential of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions The world needs new sources of clean energy due to the growing population, developing countries, and the several known dire consequences of climate change caused by burning fossil fuels. Besides renewable energies, the world urgently needs new sources of powerful energy that can be controlled at will and characterized by (a) large energy releases per reaction compared to chemical fuels, and associated high energy and power densities, and (b) production of energy without greenhouse gases. Three types of such energy generators are available or under development. Nuclear fission of heavy elements is a reliable source of clean energy. However, it has significant drawbacks, including huge facilities, large amounts of long-lived radioactive waste, and major problems from rare accidents. There is great interest now in smaller fission systems. Fusion of light isotopes of hydrogen has attracted tens of billions of dollars of research funding over the past 75 years. It requires temperatures of about 100 million degrees in low-density plasmas, and strong magnetic fields to contain the plasmas. It is expected that hot fusion systems will supply power to the electrical grid in a few countries during the 2030s. Hot fusion reactors are large machines with multi-megawatt powers that still produce significant radioactive waste. Cold fusion burst on the scene in 1989. It is now called Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) or Solid-State Fusion (SSF). Over 35 years of research in more than a dozen countries have shown that it is indeed possible to trigger very energetic reactions at modest temperatures in special catalysts loaded with hydrogen. High energy gains have been demonstrated in LENR experiments, so LENR energy might be relatively cheap, when it is commercialized. Because solids catalyze LENR, experiments have shown that energy generators based on LENR should offer high power densities, and hence compact systems. Widely distributed LENR generators with kilowatt outputs appear to be possible for powering homes and businesses. And, it is known from many experiments that LENR do not emit significant dangerous radiation, and produce hardly any radioactive waste. The scientific study of LENR remains challenging due to highly variable experiments, probably caused by vagaries of the required materials. The fundamental physics of how LENR occur pertains to Quantum Mechanics effects and is still not yet completely understood. Despite these problems, the commercialization of LENR is proceeding. Eleven startup companies are striving to produce commercial LENR generators in Asia, Europe, and America. The momentum of LENR is due to interest by governments, as well as by investors. A long-term program in Japan, a program in Europe since 2020, and a program in the U.S. from 2023 have legitimized and advanced the study of LENR. Those programs are each about $10M. If LENR captured 1/1000 of the annual market for energy globally, which is $10T, the companies could be worth billions of dollars. The two major challenges to LENR now are (a) scaling to output energies to the range of kilowatts with significant gains, and (b) the long-term durability of the active materials in LENR generators. LENR is at a stage where collaborations can accelerate understanding and commercialization. The 17th International Workshop on Hydrogen Loaded Materials will gather the best specialists of the World on both the scientific study and commercialization of LENR. This workshop is not merely a venue for presentations; it is a place to test ideas, validate claims, and define the questions that matter. We welcome those who wish to engage, compare, replicate, and build knowledge of LENR together. David J.

Fredericks) Predictions of cold fusion and related phenomena prior to 1989 and subsequent experimental verifications (ON-LINE) #Wu-Shou Zhang 1, Jed Rothwell 2 1 Institute of Chemistry, CAS, Beijing, China 2 LENR-CANR.org, USA - Email: [email protected] Although 37 years have passed since Fleischmann and Pons announced their discovery of cold fusion, the phenomenon remains unrecognized by the scientific community. However, Chinese scholar Hongzhou Zhao (1941–1997) predicted cold fusion and related phenomena as early as 1981 [1]. Subsequently, Hongzhou Zhao and Guohua Jiang (Z-J) deepened their research in 1985 [2], which was translated into English by us for global scholars. Through examining major scientific discoveries from 1500 to 1960, Z-J distilled the following principle: The process of scientific discovery resembles mineral extraction. In the exploration of the microscopic world, it deepens by progressively reducing the spatial scale of matter and increasing the binding-energy level. At any given historical epoch, one (or some) scales of matter (or forms of motion) in nature become the primary focus of scientific research. These objects constitute the “mineable deposits” of scientific achievements, which Z-J called the “main mining disciplines”. Specifically: 1540–1720 marked the era of classical mechanics; 1680–1740 witnessed the peak of thermodynamics; 1730–1820 saw the height of chemistry; 1810–1920 belonged to electromagnetism; and post-1920 belonged to quantum mechanics. Humanity “mined” research at the macroscopic scale for 210 years (1540–1750), at the molecular scale for 220 years (1640–1860), and at the atomic scale for 250 years (1670–1920). The average cycle spans approximately 230 years. Following this trend, nuclear physics—initiated in 1896—will likely require until at least the first third of the 22nd century to complete its full exploration cycle. Z-J further observed that the conditions for shift of one discipline to another involve discoveries of energy conversion effects (ECEs) between the current scale and its preceding scales, because these effects provide experimental equipment for scientific research. The discovery of radioactive phenomena marked nuclear physics as a “mining” discipline—one that had come of age and was ripe to produce practical applications. While humanity has identified and harnessed the energy conversion between nuclear and thermal energy in power plants, several fundamental direct ECEs at the nuclear level remain undiscovered. Only after humanity discovers these crucial direct ECEs can we enter a new era of comprehensive nuclear energy utilization. At that point, the nuclear radiation problem will have been resolved, and people will have absolutely no reason to worry about the consequences of nuclear energy. “Nuclear scientists will become the true Prometheus!” [2] From discoveries in cold fusion, excess heat represents the direct nuclear-to-thermal ECE proposed by Z-J, while temperature-induced excess heat embodies the thermal-to-nuclear ECE. Thus, cold fusion involves direct nuclear-to-thermal conversion, whereas nuclear power plants utilize only indirect nuclear-to-thermal conversion. David’s fusion diode and Gordon-Whitehouse’s LEC represent the nuclear-to-electric ECE. This means their discoveries not only fulfill Z-J’s predictions but also strongly suggest that humanity’s future utilization of nuclear energy will involve direct electrical power generation, bypassing the current “boiling water” approach of nuclear power plants. Meanwhile, the production of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures exceeding Faraday efficiency in certain aqueous electrolytic systems represents the nuclear-to-chemical ECE. References: [1] H.-Z.

Key Scientific Achievements of the CleanHME Project #Natalia Targosz-Sleczka1 for the CleanHME Consortium 1 Institute of Physics, University of Szczecin, Szczecin, Poland Email: [email protected] The European project CleanHME (Clean Energy from Hydrogen–Metal Systems) has formally ended in January 2025, however its results are expected to support long-term research in low-energy nuclear reactions and development of a novel energy source based on thermal nuclear fusion in metallic environments [1]. The CleanHME consortium comprised 16 academic and scientific institutions as well as industrial partners from Europe, the United States, and Canada. Beyond the identification of new materials capable of generating stable and reproducible excess heat for a future demonstrator, a central objective of the project was to achieve a deeper understanding of the underlying physical phenomena. In the project, hydrogen-loading experiments were complemented by accelerator-based experiments investigating the enhancement of nuclear reaction yields at extremely low energies, as well as by extensive materials characterization [2]. Here we present the main scientific achievements of the CleanHME project. These include the development of hydrotalcite powders incorporating various active metallic nanoparticles and the demonstration of deuteron–deuteron fusion at thermal energies through the detection of nuclear reaction products. Furthermore, the excess heat measured during hydrogen-loading experiments is remarkable, reaching values of approximately 90±5 mW/g of powder, and 25±15 W/g of bulk wire material [3]. In addition, a mechanism for LENR links hydrogen diffusion within the crystal lattice to lattice defects that locally increase the effective electron mass, thereby enhancing electron screening and facilitating tunneling through the Coulomb barrier [4]. Despite our effort, many questions remain open, emphasizing the need for continued investigation across both fundamental principles and practical applications. Resolving these open challenges will be essential for translating recent advances into robust applications.

Valat1 1 Institute of Physics, University of Szczecin, 70-451 Szczecin, Poland 2 Institute of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, Maritime University of Szczecin, 70-500 Szczecin, Poland A direct observation of the deuteron-deuteron (DD) fusion at thermal meV energies by emission of its nuclear products, although theoretically possible, was not succeeded using the accelerator technique up to now. The electron screening effect that reduces the repulsive Coulomb barrier between reacting nuclei in metallic environments by several hundreds of eV and is additionally increased by crystal lattice defects in the hosting material, leads to strongly enhanced cross sections which means that this effect might be studied in laboratories. Here, the results of the 2H(d,p)3H reaction measurements performed on different deuterated metallic targets at sub-keV energies, using an ultra-high vacuum accelerator system at the University of Szczecin, Poland will be presented. The experimentally determined thick target yield, decreasing over many orders of magnitude for lowering beam energies, could be well described by the electron screening effect and the Jπ = 0+ threshold resonance in 4He. At the lowest energies of several keV, a constant plateau yield value could be observed for different metallic targets used. As indicated by significantly increased energies of emitted protons, this effect can be associated with the thermal DD fusion. A theoretical model explains the experimental observations by creation of ion tracks, induced in the target by projectiles, and a high phonon density which locally increases temperature above the melting point. The nuclear reaction rates taking into account the enhanced electron screening effect for different target materials and DD threshold resonance agrees very well with the experimental data. This enables to compare them with the results achieved in gas loading and electrolysis experiments.

We present expanded datasets on hydrogen and deuterium loading across multiple laboratories and reactor configurations, demonstrating our experience with a broad range of loading levels and thermal responses measured through calorimetric and thermometric techniques. Excess heat generation is analyzed in relation to the number of thermal cycles applied to the nanocomposite system, highlighting the impact of in-situ activation on enhancing the material performance. For each reactor apparatus, the increased activity is documented with its contextualization. Nuclear measurements are analyzed for time correlation analysis with thermal evolution, details of cross-check verifications and calibrations of these experimental means help the audience grasp the significance of these evidences. While long-term durability and scalability of the effect require further investigation, preliminary data indicate sustained low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) activity for over four weeks, accompanied by signatures consistent with electronic flux and charge transfer.

Revisiting Anomalous Heat Excess in Nickel Alloys: Three Decades from First Evidence to Robust Reproducibility under Pulsed and Plasma Excitation # F. Celani¹, C. Lorenzetti¹, G. Vassallo 1,2, E. Purchi¹, S. Cupellini¹, M. Nakamura¹, P. Cerreoni¹, U. Mastromatteo(1). ¹ISCMNS_L1; ²DIDI, Univ. Palermo (retired) - [email protected] Over the past three decades, a systematic experimental program has been pursued to study electrically induced Anomalous Heat Effects (AHE) in metallic wires exhibiting nanostructured and sub-micrometric surface coatings, with a primary focus on nickel-based alloys such as Constantan. Starting from the earliest observations of excess heat generation under direct current electrical stimulation, successive studies have progressively identified the critical parameters governing the onset, stability, and magnitude of the phenomenon, including surface morphology, gas environment, the role of pulsed stimuli, pulse polarity and shape, temperature regime, and electrode conditioning. Recent experimental activity demonstrates that plasma-based excitation modes, including Paschen discharges and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) configurations, enable highly reproducible and controllable AHE production. Under optimized conditions, stable excess thermal output of approximately 30% relative to the total electrical input energy—accounting for both Joule heating and plasma excitation—has been consistently achieved. These results represent a significant advancement compared to earlier regimes characterized by poor repeatability and strong sensitivity to uncontrolled variables. At the same time, the experiments reveal that deviation from the optimized operational window can lead to diverging behaviors, including thermal runaway, localized overheating, and eventual wire failure under certain plasma regimes. Such transitions underline the existence of non-linear and self-amplifying processes, strongly dependent on surface activation, charge injection, and gas–metal interactions. The coexistence of stable, reproducible operating modes and high-gain runaway regimes highlights both the technological potential and the underlying magnitude of the phenomenon. The present results indicate that AHE is no longer an elusive or sporadic effect, but a robust physical process that can be engineered, controlled, and scaled, bringing it significantly closer to practical applications in advanced energy conversion systems.

Defect formation and evolution on deuterated multilayer nickel-copper nano-structured samples, surface and subsurface analysis with PAS #Mathieu Valat 1, Konrad Czerski 1, Sreelakshmi Thulichery 1, Mateusz Kaczmarski 1, Maciej Oskar Liedke 2, Andreas Wagner 2, Natalia Targosz-Sleczka 1, Agata Kowalska 3, Rakesh Dubey 1, Gokul Das Haridas 1. 1 Institute of Physics, eLBRUS Centre for Experimental Physics, University of Szczecin, Szczecin, Poland 2 Helmholtz–Zentrum Dresden–Rossendorf (HZDR), Dresden, Germany 3 Maritime University, Szczecin, Poland (PM), Szczecin, Poland - email: [email protected] Considering the success of CleanPlanet Inc., we analyzed data produced on a PVD-made multi-layer Ni-Cu nano-structured system* in the aim of understanding the formation of hydrogen induced defect during irradiation, as well as during the heat production phase of the material. Leveraging the features of positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) at HZDR, we identify the type and the evolution of such defects when the material is first irradiated with deuterium, then throughout a thermal cycle up to 500ºC. As seen before [1], low-energy deuterons implantation with currents in the range of 10th of microampere per cm2, on zirconium at fluences <1017 ion/cm2 produces copious number of defects, up to a physical limit of saturation at depth matching their range of implantation [2]. The type of defects induced are mono-vacancy clusters and mono-vacancies, both filled with multiple deuterons. The participation of defects in the nuclear process described by Czerski is well identified [3], and their evolution is a key parameter in the capability to sustain the metal-hydrogen quantum energy production phenomenon. While the thick target yield evaluation gave minuscule results, due to the un-adapted method of hydride formation and the low electron screening properties of nickel at 10keV, we were able to produce 3 datasets with PAS: after the implantation, after a temperature increase at 500ºC, and after the thermal cycle. We also use a CleanHME prepared multi-layers Ni-Cu sample, based on scientifically disclosed information of Iwamura’s Multilayer Metal-Composite system [4]. We observe the predominance of mono-vacancies by the initial irradiation, in a similar result to the measurement on zirconium or palladium hydrides. During the temperature increase the data shows a large increase of nickel capabilities for diffusion of hydrogen in the sub-surface region. We also report the conversion of mono-vacancies to clusters and voids, a reduction of the mono-vacancy size, and a strong predominance of large void in the bulk. While these observations confirm the intuition that hot Ni-Cu nano-structured material tends to load large quantity of hydrogen, it also shows that hydrogen helps to trigger a repair mechanism of the sub-surface region and limits the Kirkendall effect.
