I think the distinction involves the fermion-boson nature of the negative hydrogen ion between deuterium and protium.
Because protium can form a clustered negative hydrogen ion as a fermion, the ion can mimic the behavior of the electron. Since deuterium can only form a negative hydrogen ion with integer spin, it is denied the same mechanism that allows fusion of large volumes of protium atoms. It is the size of these ion clusters that make the “Rossi” reaction so powerful and productive. And palladium cannot produce clustered negative hydrogen ions so the reaction is very weak. The Bose-Einstein condensate is the most probable mechanism for deuterium cold fusion. But the hydride compression mechanism is the most likely common cold fusion factor between the two isotopes in a transition metal. The detection of helium in the Arata experiment shows that fusion of deuterium is happening.
