Prof. V. Etkin PhD posted in 2015 how L.U. Alvarez discovered Cold Nuclear Synthesis in 1957 and got Nobel prize for it in 1968.
In addition, subsequent Russian research in 1957 by I.S. Filimonenko using Palladium, produced 'warm nuclear fusion' which "during operation, emits some kind of radiation, which drastically reduces the half-life of radioactive isotopes. However, both neutron radiation and radioactive waste were absent."
This is the first known observation of LENR, SR and Nuclear Remediation in one package.
