The explosive potential of the cold fusion reaction is centered on the percentage of energy that is produce by the LENR reaction in the various energy releases format.
By energy formats I mean the place where the output energy goes such as sub atomic particle production, heat, light, and/or RF. If a large percentage of the energy format goes toward muon production, then the muons might catalyze a large amount of fusion and fission. I have a fear that a runaway LENR reaction might generate a huge amount of muons where only a small fraction of the output energy goes toward the production of EMF such as heat and light.
