(AP) — An Orlando scientist awaits the reaction ofhis colleagues worldwide to an announcement that he’s developed a laboratory cold fusion process that can be repeated on demand Dr. Nelson Ying, a nuclear physicist, announced Friday that heis getting up to 100,000 times more energy from a tabletop apparatus than he applies to it, and that he can repeat the procedure at will A workablecold fusion process — that can be used to produce cheap electric power — has been touted as a solution to the world’s energy problems. Hebegan his work in November 1989 after two University of Utah chemists and others claimed to have discovered cold fusion However, scientists worldwide had spotty results in trying to duplicate the work of chemists Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann. Even those that did obtain positive results had difficulty repeating the process, and no onehas been able to obtain cold fusion on demand. But Ying’s announcement may reopen the controversy over similar claims that have never been fully substantiated “We are sure that we have obtained cold fusion which we can initiate on demand,” Ying an- nounced at a news conference after a demonstration at the Orlando Science Center. “This is subject, of course, to the “rigorous review of my peers,” added Ying, who is an adjunct professor at the University of Central lorida and president of Quantum Nucleonics Corp. of Orlando. He said he and a co-worker, Charles W. Shults II, developed the process over the past three years and have conducted 102 successful experiments. “We are able to get much more heat than we put in, repeatedly,” Ying said after the demonstration observed by U.S. Rep.

Bosnia asked the Security Council anew for military action. “Relatively limited” air strikes on Serbian positions “would allow for both the effective delivery of emergency relief and the cessation of barbaric shelling,” it said. State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler reaffirmed in Washington that the U.S. military stood ready to helpin relief efforts if the United Nations so requests and if a truce has been in effect 48 hours. The European Community, meeting in Lisbon, moved toward mountinga relief airlift to Sarajevo. US. Secretary of State James A. Baker III asked the Europeans to intensify sanctions on Serbia, including expulsion from the United Nations. The Serbs announced Thursday they would unilaterally stop firing on civilian targets and put their guns under U.N.supervision. Butartillery fire continued spo- “Isn’t America great,” said one woman.

The convention resumes today with the 2,500 delegates and party leaders staging a tribute to Sen. Jake Garn and Gov. Norm Bangerter, both retiring from political life this year. Candidates for Senate, governor, attorney general: and the three congressional seats then will be nominated.
