Even in translation, Richter's 'science' unimpressive

Abstract

Having read the exchange of letters about the value of Ronald Richter´s nuclear fusion work in Bariloche, Argentina, in the early 1950s (PHYSICS TODAY, August 2003, page 12, and March 2004, page 14), I thought it unfortunate that most challenges to Richter’s results are in Spanish. Analyses appear in two reports from the scientific panel that Juan Perón’s government appointed to evaluate the project after Richter’s erratic behavior became apparent.
