Hi,
[snip]
The idea of a low energy bound hydrex, faux neutron, hydrino, blah
blah blah, acting like a neutron and drifting through the cloud of
electrons about the uranium atom is simply not credible. The binding
energy is too small. It's like trying to hold down a roof in a
tornado with an ordinary rubber band.

This is not necessarily true of Hydrinos. The very severely
shrunken ones have
binding energies running into the tens of thousands to hundreds of
thousands of
eV.
Is there any evidence such things exist? There are three problems
with the small ones. The first is Heisenberg requires the half-lives
be very short. The second is the difficulty obtaining a series of
catalytic events to take energy in the right amounts in the right
sequence in order to create them. The third is making all this
happen in a uranium lattice.
