Brillouin seems to be moving away from the fluidized bed (pellet) reactor design, to an elegant hot tube built around a vacuum-sputtered layer of nickel on ceramic. See pg. 36-39 of the recent patent application: http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/docservicepdf_pct/id0026903329.pdf Other

In the long run, Brillouin’s low energy nuclear reaction technology will beat out Rossi's Hot cat reactor design. But there needs to be some design upgrades to the Brilouin's current approach. A LENR TRISO fuel pellet design should be invented. Like the Hot-Cat tube design, this pellet should be
