Q
values
used
in
this
paper
are
from
old
mass
tables
(Nucl.
Phys.,

(1960)

and
Nuclear
Wallet
Cards,

1990,
published
by

Tuli,

Data

Data
Network)
and
hence
some
values
are
obsolete.
In
the
following,
we
present
new
modified
sentences
which
include
the
updated
Q
values
calculated
from
mass
differences
given
in
the
latest
Nuclear
Wallet
Cards
(July
1995,
fifth
edition).
The
sentences
appearing
in
last
four
rows
of
page
1021
and
the
first
eight
rows
of
page
1022
contain
incorrect
Q
values
and
should
be
replaced
with
the
following
sentences:
For
APd(d,p)A+lpd,
Q
values
are
5.4MeV
(A=102),
4.87MeV
(A=104),
7.34
MeV
(A
=
105),
4.31
MeV
(A
=
106),
7.0
MeV
(A
=
107),
3.9
MeV
(A
=
108),
and
3.53
MeV
(A
=
110).
For
tritium
producing
A
Pd(d,
t)
A
-1Pd
reactions,
all
Q
values
are
negative
for
stable
~Pd
(A
=
102,104,
105,
106,
108
and
110).
However,
there
are
other
tritium
producing
reactions
with
positive
Q
values
such
as
6Li(d,
t)SLi
(Q
=0.592)
(SLi
decays
to
4He
+p
with
Q=
1.97MeV
and
F=
1.5MeV).
If
X-rays
or
bremsstrahlung
radiation
is
not
observed
or
is
at
a
very
low
level
in
the
electrolysis
experiments
[3],
all
of
the
above
fusion
reactions
involving
Pd
isotopes
are
ruled
and
hence
we
need
to
look
for
other
candidate
fusion
reactions
with
small
values
of
Q,
including
those
involving
impurity
isotopes
in
electrolysis
experiments.
Examples
of
other
possible
fusion
reactions
with
small
Q
values
are
I~176
(Q=0.375
MeV),
l~
l~N)l~
(Q=7.6MeV),
11~
~Li)mPd
(Q=0.086
MeV),
etc.
