S. Department of Energy and patenting. President Peterson reads a letter from Utah Governor Norman Bangerter. Activities taking place immediately following the press conference occur in the laboratory where the fusion experiment is located. A guide explains the experiment to the press and others. There are views of the experiment and associated equipment.

A press conference intended to update its members on cold fusion is held at a Los Angeles meeting of the Electrochemical Society of America. Present are Dr. Stanley Pons, Dr. Martin Fleischman, Electrochemical Society President Bruce Deal, Eldon (?), Lawrence Cairns and Dr. Steven Jones. A short history of electro-chemistry is given. Topics include the validity of the experiments (Nathan Lewis and Robert Huggins); aspects of energy output; confirmation, by John Appleby of Texas A & M, of "anomalous heat" and proposition of an alternative explanation; commercial aspects of fusion; confirmation and disputation by various researchers. Comments from (?) Landau, a researcher, after the press conference.

A discussion of cold fusion by assorted researchers from American and European universities held at a meeting of the American Physical Society.

A KSL-TV documentary reporting on cold fusion. The program discusses the nature of fusion energy; Pons' and Fleischman's experiment; the benefits of fusion energy; the controversy surrounding the experiment; the personal back-grounds of Pons and Fleischman; and the history of nuclear energy. Reported by Dick Nourse, Bruce Lindsay, Shelley Thomas, Ed Yeates, Duane Cardall, Joel Munson and John Hollenhorst. Produced by Kim Thomas; directed by Russ Crab.
