See Mizuno, Savvatimova or Karabut. Is it sufficient to explain LENR? Some people who know a lot do not think so; I wonder whether the energy balance has been properly tabulated to rule out a partial but significant contribution from fission in some cases. It might be that gamma radiation is never produced in LENR.
