Ehh, that is very questionable. The people who claimed to have produced cold fusion were never able to reproduce their results and so are widely believed to be either mistaken at best or liars at worst.

I would not go so far as to label cold fusion as akin to alchemy; after all fusion is proven to be possible and as Slavakion said it just needs some improvement. The bomb proves that energy output can greatly exceed input so the concept is sound, but it is the mechanics of energy extraction while balancing the reaction at a point where it produces energy but does not run out of control that elude us.
