Only if one discounts the hydrino-hydride --> auger electron
displacement explanation - or the one offered by Robin.
Radioactive species degassing should fog film equally well, or
better, in a vacuum situation.
It is not possible to get an exposure in a vacuum from degassing
species using the same exposure time as with atmospheric pressure
gas. This is not even a close call. The exposure times are way too
long. The radioactive species gets immediately evacuated. The low
ion energy prevents sources within the Pd from exposing the film.
"The exposure time varied from 24 to 120 hours.".
From : http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RoutRKphenomenon.pdf
Fig. 2, for example, had a 90 hour exposure time.
I certainly would blame no one for discounting the Mills hydrino in
normal circumstances - since the species has not been proved to the
satisfaction of most observers.
I discounted the Mills theory only to the extent that the suggested
mechanism (below) should produce photons and energetic alphas, which
also expose the film, and this was ruled out by experiment, and also
to the extent that this explanation is inconsistent with the much
higher film exposure in *both* a positive and negative E field.

I would offer the following suggestion. Hydrino molecules fuse with
either O18
from Oxygen/air, or with D2 in Hydrogen gas to create either
energetic alphas in
the case of O18, or (T & p)/(He3 & n) in the case of D2. These in
turn ionize
the surrounding gas releasing low energy electrons. When alphas
ionize gasses
they typically lose about 400 eV per atom, which isn't a bad match
for the
purported electron energy.
