Abstract

The nuclear fusion rate of free deuterium molecules is~10~(-70)/s according to Van Siclen Dew and Jones' calculation. It is far less than the measurable level (10~(-23)/s). For the deuterium in palladium, the fusion rate increases greatly when the correlations between deuterium ions are considered. However, it can never reach the measurable level under normal conditions by considering only ionic correlations or electron screening. The effects of both electron screening and ionic correlations to the fusion rate are considered in this
