This is an old presentation at CERN (2012). It does have some qualitative pertinence IMHO. However, there is a lot of hand waving about coupling of energies to the loss of mass. Furthermore, Srivastava does not address the forces associated with spin coupling of opposite spin particles--Cooper pairs of H for example--and magnetic fields, nor whether they even come into play in the electron/protons SPP's he proposes. Energy conservation is addressed, however, conservation of spin and angular momentum is avoided, as if it does not come into play in LENR.
Concerning the source of energy along the reaction path, for example, in the distribution of the SPP energy to the lattice, is where the hand waving hits its best performance IMHO. I would be happy to hear comments on this from Vorts that do or do not agree.

At 13:30, the energy coming from the environment of the nanoparticles is guided along the surface of the nanoparticles and form a resonance on their surface. This resonance is transferred and trapped in a conductor isolated but very near the nanoparticules. These elementary currents added to each other form the big current at the output of the device. W & L theory as been moving toward the nanoplasmonic theory of the LENR reaction for some time now. It looks like they are mostly there.
