He is a nuclear chemist who worked at Los Alamos National Lab for more than 30 years. He established Kiva Labs in Santa Fe where he continues exploration of evidence of his model of cold fusion. Storms is also a Science Advisor to Cold Fusion Now.
Storm's work is listed in the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. 2013 Report on cold fusion, which identifies 25 theories on the mechanisms behind cold fusion, but notes that "What was apparent from this review is that there has been a plethora of investigations and theories for CF/LENR/CMNS over the last 20 years, but a relative shortage of credible, peer-reviewed information sources."
