Sažetak
An attempt to induce the nuclear fusion in PdD by the electrolysis of heavy water was made. The three compartmental electrolytical cells with control instruments to enforce sorption and desorption of deuterium in palladuim were used. The characteristics of nuclear radiation detector are presented. The pulse height spectra of neutrons were analysed and the upper limit for neutron emission was compared with the background counting rate. No evidence for the d+d fusion reaction was found. The average counting rate limit of neutrons from the foreseen (d, n) reaction was less than 0.0007 counts per second. This number correspond to the detection limit of one standard deviation.
