THE SPIRIT OF VANCOUVER

I would like to thank everyone who took the time, effort, and money to attend the SeventhInternational Conference on Gold Fusion in Vancouver on April 19-24, 1998. The substantialpreparation and advanced work of all oral and poster presenters, combined with activeaudience participation, created a spontaneously constructive environment for discussion. Ihope all participants returned from Vancouver wtth a renewed sense of purpose, a deeperinsight to guide their research, and new perspectives to broaden their thinking.

The congenial atmosphere at ICCF-7 was a unique and rewarding experience. Perhaps theenlightened spirtt was a resu~ of the spectacular Vancouver scenery; or the realization, afternine years, that unity and cooperation among pioneering researchers may be more productivethan competition. Over 200 people from 20 countries and all scientific disciplines gathered inVancouver to share ideas in an attempt to understand the mechanisms responsible tor theunequivocal laboratory resu~ many have witnessed firsthand. Across cultural, linguistic anddisciplinarian boundaries, scientists from widely divergent backgrounds worked together topursue a common goal of trying to perfect a potentially new, ciean, economical, and abundantenergy source tor the 21 st century.

I believe ICCF-7 marked a crucial milestone of maturation of the field from the viewpointof science, finance, and human resources that will support and sustain growth for a strongnew generation.

The diversity and qual tty of the data presented at ICCF-7 has grown more compelling.A plethora of new, diverse results from a wide variety of second generation experimentshelp move the field closer to a better understanding of reaction mechanisms, and virtuallyeliminate the possibility that early electrochemical experiments were just sometransient mistake.

Although most research activities are still critically undercapitalized, as evidenced byapproXimately two-thirds of ICCF-7 participants paying for their own attendance, decentralizedself-funded research leads to highly focused lab activtties. The se~-supported fervor anddedication of current researchers provides a grass-roots resiliency and enthusiasm that can notbe easily extinguished by adverse, external events.

Approximately one-third of the ICCF-7 audience was new. Nine students were present, someof whom gave their very first presentation at an ICCF conference. One new student was electedas a "Top Ten" presenter. New and younger persons entering the field provide vitaJ freshperspectives that are crucial to continuation and growth. An entire second generation ofscientists and managers are now carrying on the bulk of the work that was tormerly performedby early pioneers.

In closing, I would like to thank the International Advisory Committee for providing theopportunity for me to help organize ICCF-7. It was very satisfying to be able to help contributeto the growth and advancement of this important new field of research.

Until we meet again at ICCF-8 in Italy, best wishes to all and good luck with your pursuits.

Sincerely,

Fred JaegerOrganizing Chairman

DEDICATION

This pUblication is dedicated to all ICCF-7 participants, their predecessors and colleagues,whose hard work and perseverance made the Vancouver conference possible.

The enclosed papers provide a collective state-of·the-art glimpse of a new and emergingfield of energy research known as low energy induced nuclear reactions in solids. Eachparticipant makes a unique and valuable contribution to the collective effort to betterunderstand these new phenomena. Hopefully, history will judge these manuscripts and theICCF·7 conference as an important step to Mure success.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Thanks to all International Advisory and Local Organizing Committee members for theirexperience, wisdom, suggestions and advice regarding the organization of ICCF-7. Specialthanks to Professor George Miley and Ms. Hallie Coppedge, Fusion StudiesLab - University of Illinois; Ms. Liz Trythall, ENECO; and Dr. Carol Storms for their endlesshours of work behind the scene.

We gratefully acknowledge ENECO for its direct financial sponsorship of ICCF-7, as wellas its indirect assistance by allowing employees to work on ICCF-7 affairs.

IN MEMORIAM

Special dedication in memory of Professor Okamoto who died on May 4, 1998, at age 60.Professor Okamoto was the Organization Chairman of ICCF-6, and a world renown leaderin the research field for cold fusion. He obtained his PhD from the Tokyo Institute ofTechnology, and was a professor of graduate engineering at Tohoku University in Sendai,Japan. He constantly strove to improve the quality and rigor of experimental design anddata interpretation for this emerging field. His knowledgeable encouragement, contribution,cooperation, and friendship will be sorely missed by the entire international coldfusion community. Our deepest and most sincere condolences go to his family andclose colleagues.
