Edmund Storms papers
Scope and Contents
Series 1: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This series consists primarily of materials related to Storms' research on cold fusion during his final years at LAN where he led one of two LANL teams that had success in replicating LENR. Included are clippings, data, memorandums, presentations, and reports related to cold fusion. The contents found in box 5, folders 5-6 are Storms' professional materials, previously contained in a binder, before the discovery of cold fusion. Note: the printouts in this series are related to Storms research at LANL and were produced in 2016.
Series 2: Independent Investigation. This series consist of materials related to Storms' research on cold fusion after his retirement from LANL. During this period, he consulted with LANL and provided testimony to the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation in 1993. The memorandums in this series overlap with the memorandums in the first series. The correspondence include e-mails and faxes from the following:

Biographical / Historical
Edmund Kugler Storms (1931-) is a nuclear chemist who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) for 32 years before retiring in 1991. Storms was born in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania on 22 April 1931. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Pennsylvania State University in 1953; M.S. in Radiochemistry from Washington University in 1957; and Ph.D. in Radiochemistry from Washington University in 1958. At LANL, Storms' studies include but not limited to vaporization behavior of refractory materials; super conductivity; chemistry of high-temperature nuclear fuel; and cold fusion, energy and tritium production. After retiring from LANL, Storms collaborated with Brian Scanlan to form a company called Kiva Labs where they explored evidence of cold fusion from 2007-2012.
Storms has published over a hundred journal articles, several books, and two patents. In 2002, Jed Rothwell and Storms started an online library, A library of papers about cold fusion, which contains Storms' publication collection.
