Jones, Here is an idea related to the natural propensity for a diproton to fission which you have previously mentioned. Suppose a neutron within a deuteron is converted into proton. The subsequent motion of the protons due to mutual repulsion would heat the lattice. The lattice does this by somehow collectively focus a gamma level of energy into the deuteron. This part would be endothermic. This represents an inversion of Haglestein's problem, where the release of gamma level energy is distributed over the lattice. Deuterium is present in Ni and Pd systems but the nature of a Ni-D system is such that a much lower ratio of D to H is optimal. Too much deuterium in a Ni system quenches the reaction as has been observed. Harry Harry
