Abstract
The results of an experiment aimed at verifying the hypothesis that lo w-temperature nuclear fusion occurs in metal-hydrogen systems are pres ented. Titanium and an intermetallic compound ZrNbV saturated with a d euterium-tritium mixture are chosen for substances to be studied. With in experimental errors, no excess of neutron emission above the backgr ound level is observed for these substances saturated with a deuterium -tritium mixture. The hypothesis that hot nuclear dt fusion occurs in metal/(D-T) systems is not confirmed in our experiment either.
