The first information on cold nuclear fusion of hydrogen was published in 1926 by German chemists F. Paneth and K. Peters who detected the formation of helium in palladium powder saturated by hydrogen. The paper by M. Fleischmann and S. Pons published in 1989 and investigation of cold nuclear fusion (CNF) of deuterium under electrochemical saturation of palladium cathode in water solutions again gives interest towards the possibility of CNF. The existence of such reactions has not been proved convincingly yet partially due to the absence of a theoretical model of the mechanism of cold nuclear occurrence.
