deuterium is a NMR active isotope an cannot participate in the LENR process.
This still leaves open the possibility that a compound containing deuterium with 0 total spin(NMR inactive) may be LENR active. Could it be that over these 25 years, people have be under an fusion inspired illusion that a Deuterium LENR reaction produces helium? Hard to believe isn't it?
