* Jones, I think you may be wrong about this. If an f/H anion existed,
it would be a very heavy negatively charged body, like a muon but heavier. As
it approached a Ni atom, it would experience no force since the Ni electrons
screen the Ni nuclear charge.
Bob - the attraction would be magnetic, which is stronger than electrostatic
repulsion in this case due to the reduced orbital diameter. Apply inverse
square to the dense anion, and you have a kilo-tesla magnetic field. According
to Mills the negatively charged species is stable and bound in the range of a
few eV. It would displace a valence electron in the nickel cloud but not an
inner electron.
* The f/H anion would enter the Ni atom and kick out an electron keeping
it a net neutral body. The f/H anion would quickly descend into a tight
orbital around the nucleus due to its high mass.
Not necessarily. The net negative charge is low. The same force (ZPE) which
keeps any electron away from the nucleus also operates against this anion.

* In Piantelli's theory, a shock of some type in the Ni rod causes the
metal grain, acting as a condensate, to draw in the hydrogen anion into the
metal grain.
This cannot happen since the anion is fermionic.
* There is much objection to condensates forming at these temperatures.
Not as much as the objection which is due to the fact that the anion is not a
boson :-)
But the bottom line is you do not need it. The fractional species alone has
sufficient magnetic field increase at a few picometers to overcome Coulomb
repulsion of the valence electrons.
