There is no doubt you can make a small explosion with cold fusion.
People have already done that, by accident. Mizuno nearly killed
himself doing that. See:

Thanks for the link, Jed!
I recalled the early speculation that the explosion was caused by
recombination, and I'd been wondering why you had more recently
attributed it to a CF "excursion". The paper referenced in the caption
of the photo you linked clarified it; thanks again.
It still leaves a question, though, which is what happened between T-10
seconds and T-5 seconds which caused the electrolyte temperature to
*drop* by about 8 degrees. That seems very peculiar; it would be nice
to know the cause. (I suppose there's not much chance of ever finding
it, though, since this was necessarily a one-off event!)
