You may be correct in your assumption regarding knowledge, but there must be some level of barrier or LENR would be occurring all over the place, all the time. I read somewhere that about 100 keV is in the ballpark for the barrier of hydrogen to hydrogen hot fusion. Since the repulsion is proportional to the product of the number of protons, one obtains a guesstimate of 2.8 MeV if you use the number of protons in nickel(28) versus the 1 of the target hydrogen nucleus. I am sure the actual barrier value is different than my rough calculation due to electron shielding and the actual distance required before the strong force takes over among other effects.
If anyone has an accurate barrier value for us to plug into our assumption please submit it.
