More... One thing that Holmlid, ME356, Eros, and Defkalion all have detected is a high state of ionization as muons interacted with matter and ionized it. There must be a huge flux of muons produced to disable electronic equipment at meters away from the LENR reaction.
If LENR is heavily deployed in a high density urban housing situation, then a dense field of general muon interference will produce a impossible to shield zone of electronic and electrical failure.
