One the other hand, in experiments with uranium, Leonid Urutskoev has shown that in may be possible for the LENR reaction to produce a fission explosion in fissile material. This line of experiments he undertook were designed to show that the Chernobyl reactor explosion was produced by a large electrical discharge that produced LENR byproducts that enriched the nuclear fuel in the chernobyl reactor's core. I speculate that that the byproduct was an intense muon flux. Muons have been known to produce fission in fissile material and can act to enrich the concentration of U235 in the U238 fuel mix through selective transmutation of even atomic number elements. Specially U238 over U235.
See http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/p86-123#.W3ZPcOjFhPY ABSTRACT Muon-induced prompt and delayed fission yields in 235U and 238U have been measured. A coincidence with the muonic uranium *K*α X-rays was used to identify the muon stop in the target. The experimental absolute fission yields per muon stop were 0.142 ± 0.023 for 235U and 0.068 ± 0.013 for 238U. The disappearance rate of muons from the 1*s* state of muonic uranium has also been measured in the fission mode. Muon-induced fission lifetimes were 71.6 ± 0.6 ns for 235U and 77.2 ± 0.4 ns for 238U. No evidence for a short-lifetime fission – isomer component was found. Comparison of lifetime results with previously measured values in the electron, gamma, and neutron decay modes indicated that the systematic discrepancies could be explained by muon capture on fission fragments produced from prompt fission. I suppose that a uranium fission bomb could be designed using the LENR reaction as an enrichment and trigger mechanism using uranium.
