This is a false comparison, an emotional one, and one that damages LENR. If the common man compares LENR to nuclear fission or fusion, progress on the PR front for LENR will go backward.
A bomb uses more than 8 kilograms of material in a “pit” where the reaction occurs throughout the entire bulk of the material. Most believe that LENR uses only the thin surface skin of 10 Grams of micropowder only a few nanometers thick. This is because electrons do not penetrate the surface of the Lattice because they travel in a strong alternating current. The volume of this surface materiel is minuscule. The percentage of the volume devoted to the NAE is some minuscule fraction of this surface volume. Your comparison with a bomb is way off in terms of magnitude.
