Pd employed as cathodes in cold fusion experiments contains various defects, each of which has an associated energy. In principle, some of the energy in Pd due to defects that exist before a cold fusion experiment could be released as apparent excess heat during the experiment. Energy densities were computed for high concentrations of vacancies, impurities (both substitutional and interstitial atoms), dislocations and grain boundaries, as well as for strains. It is concluded that preexisting defects and strains cannot account for the energies released during cold fusion experiments. Nonetheless, defects may play other supporting or central roles in cold fusion.
