The SPP's not only focus magnetic photons, it also focuses virtual photons.
Virtual photons create the magnetic field that define the rate of nuclear decay. Usually, the vacuum produces a fixed average rate of virtual photon production. So the rate of radioactive decay is stable. When the SPP focuses virtual photons into a small volume, the rate of radioactive decay increases a lot. This answers why there is no radioactive byproducts produced in LENR. The Rate of photon production is increased in the same way through focusing, so the chance that a meson is produced by magnetic interaction with the proton goes up a lot. The two photon reactions both real and virtual are directly proportional. So if radioactive half-life in reduced though virtual particle production, the rate(probability) of meson production is increased proportionally as demonstrated by the same concurrent photon focusing mechanism. There is always a chance that a meson is created from the vacuum. Magnetic focusing also increases the chance of seeing a whopper of a virtual energy increase in the proton so meson production goes way up too. This increased chance of a large virtual energy contribution per unit time also increases the chances for meson creation.
