Interesting video and reference Jack. I did one LENR experiment with Nitjnol that may be worth repeating. My system didn't work out to well but I only tried once. The idea was to use electrolysis to load the Nitenol wth D+ and then heat the nitinol to contract forcing the lattice deuterium to fuse. It looks like it gets brittle but I was using a very very small sample. I wonder if it would work with a larger sample, or perhaps another type of shape memory metal.
