Scientific paper

It is proposed that the core of the Earth where metal hydrides are subject to high pressure and temperature conditions is a suitable site for ``cold-nuclear'' fusion to proceed. This is compatible with recent experimental evidence, that shows that low levels of cold-nuclear fusion may take place in hydrides, that hydrogen is soluble in iron at high pressures, and in some models up to 0.4% by weight of the core of the Earth may be hydrogen. If it is assumed that 3He is produced within the Earth by cold-nuclear fusion, and production and escape to the atmosphere has attained steady-state, the terrestrial fusion rate λf is between 0.3×10-25 to 4.4×10-25 fusions per second, per deuteron. In contrast to terrestrial radiogenic heat production, cold-nuclear fusion can produce only 10-5 of the observed terrestrial heat flow.
