Yes, people try to explain LENR using the behavior described in the
paper. However, the behavior being caused is not cold fusion but hot
fusion. Hot fusion is an entirely different reaction with different
nuclear products and a different mechanism. Hot fusion REQUIRES high
energy, cold fusion does not. Hot fusion produces neutrons, cold
fusion does not. Hot fusion generates energetic particles, cold fusion
does not. Hot fusion produces energy by two reactions d+d=n+He3 and d
+d=t+p, cold fusion makes energy by d+d=He4 + ?. It is a waste of
time trying to explain cold fusion using hot fusion as an example.
This approach is as pointless as trying to explain cold fusion using
the conditions in the Sun. Nuclear reactions, like all kinds of
reactions, are influenced by the conditions. Change the condition and
the reaction mechanism and products change. An explanation that
applies to one condition will not apply to another, so why do this?

I don't know what you mean by "This study has no relationship to
cold fusion because the same nuclear products are not formed." See
page p.14, section 13. He tries to explain Rossi's reactor. See p.
18, table II. This context shows he's trying to explain CF and
Rossi's reactor.

This paper and many others like it describe how HOT fusion is
enhanced when it occurs in a chemical lattice. This study has no
relationship to cold fusion because the same nuclear products are
not formed. While the lattice enhances the hot fusion rate, it does
so only at very low energy where the rate is already very small.
Here are some other studies.

Excellent find Lou!! Much appreciate it!
The abstract for just one section of the book sounds extremely
interesting
and encouraging:
"Our decadal basic research confirmed: Chemonuclear fusion of light
nuclei
in the metallic Li-liquids hold the common mechanism with
pycnonuclear
reactions in the metallic-hydrogen liquids in stars e.g. white-dwarf
supernova progenitors. Both reactions are incorporated with the ionic
reactions forming compressed united atoms and induce enormous rate
enhancement caused by the thermodynamic activity of the liquids.
For the
chemonuclear fusion of hydrogen clusters in the Li permeated metal
hydrogen
systems, the rate enhancement of 2x10e44 is expected via coherent
collapse
of hydrogen-hydrogen bonds. Chemonuclear fusion releases a power
over one
million times as dense as the solar interior power density in the
metal
hydrogen systems, e.g a 1-mole NiH system is capable of some kW
output. The
fusion is followed by the successive reactions mostly with Li metal."
Some key phrases:
- "forming compressed united atoms" [me: perhaps support for
hydrinos?]
- "induce enormous rate enhancement"
- "rate enhancement of 2x10e44 is expected"
- "Chemonuclear fusion releases a power over one million times as
dense as
the solar interior"
- "1-mole NiH system is capable of some kW output"
Can't wait to read the whole book!

{{ EXTRACT: The Nature of the Chemonuclear Transition
In any nuclear transition undergoing gently compared to atomic
transitions, e.g. nuclear collisions, in its turn, nuclear fusion or
fusion reactions going on more slowly than the gyration speed of
electrons ZvB in the 1s-orbital of reactant atoms, the electrons
adjust
their electronic states continuously and smoothly to the nuclear
transitions or reactions. Here Z and vB denote the atomic number of
reactant atoms/nuclei colliding with light ions and Bohr speed
respectively. Thereby united nuclear and atomic transitions are
likely
to take place. In fact such united transitions have been observed in
the united atom formation in the high energy heavy ion collision
experiments through detecting the characteristic X-rays of united
atoms
in which pairs of colliding nuclei coexist at the center of common
1s-electron orbitals [1].}}
