It's possible that Rossie is seeing more neutrons than he has let on, even in his smaller devices running at low COP. Weighing against this is the fact that many of the LENR researchers have also seen neutrons, but only at very low levels -- Ed Storms provides a single, short paragraph in chapter 7 of his book on what is detected that says that neutrons not seen at any significant level, and the book includes references to Celani, who has looked at Ni/H.
My hunch is that neutrons are arising in relatively uncommon side branches in most cases. If this is right, I also suspect that these branches can be reached more frequently if the system is driven harder or if the experimental conditions are adjusted in the right way.
