Experiments using high-efficiency neutron detectors have detected neutron emission from various forms of Pd and Ti metal in pressurized D[sub 2] gas cells and D[sub 2]O electrolysis cells. Four independent neutron detectors based on [sup 3]He gas tubes were used. Both random neutrons (0.05-0.2 n/s) and time-correlated neutron bursts (10-280 n) of [le] 100-[mu]s duration were measured using time-correlation counting techniques. The majority of the neutron burst events occurred at [approximately][minus]30[degrees]C as the samples were warming up from the liquid nitrogen temperature.
