Any nuclear or chemical change must result in a heat deficit. There is
no significant heat deficit.
Yes... but you still do not get the logical error you are making.
In any run where there is net gain, there can be regions of heat deficit
which are masked by the overall gain. You cannot assume a homogeneous
electrode.
The real gain of ~300 MJ could have been higher than reported. This
dynamic only happens when the stored energy is nuclear, not chemical. If
it were only chemical energy that we are concerned with, then yes,
storage would result in deficit but with nuclear there can be both gain
and storage happening at the same time.
