Purdue University professor Rusi Taleyarkhan has been debarred by officials in
the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research and Acquisition Integrity Office. He is
temporarily prohibited from participating in any new federal procurement
activities, such as receiving new contracts, through September 2011.
The project was an attempt to replicate the Taleyarkhan
group's "bubble fusion" experiment that had been performed at Oak Ridge national
laboratory. The Navy ordered the debarment in
great part because an attempted science replication, which the Navy funded,
failed to produce positive results.
The replication attempt was made at University of
California, Los Angeles.
