The question is whether superconductivity is a cause or an effect of
LENR. Is the NAE both nuclear active and superconducting as a result
of a chance combination of properties or is superconductivity required
to cause LENR? No evidence supports either conclusion. The claims are
based on assumptions, not on direct measurements normally used to
identify a superconductor.

This idea has been around for a long time. The reason is not
complicated. Hydrides are low temperature superconductors. People
have speculated that hyper-loaded palladium hydrides might be high
temperature superconductors. The entire cathode is probably not an
HTSC, but it might be one over tiny domains. Cold fusion occurs over
tiny domains, so that's all you need. Loading is not even across the
entire cathode. It is much higher in some spots than others.
