I don't see any mention of "screening" in the text of that paper. Can you point me to a paragraph that discusses what you term "screening"?
BTW, this paper is talking about huge energy flux required to induce nuclear transformations -- 10^18 W/cm^2 without nanoparticles + unstable elements, 10^12 or 10^13 W/cm^2 with.
Even 10^12 W/cm^2 is massive. It's interesting to ponder whether this high level of energy in could produce enough radioactive decay produce a matching amount of energy out. But this process seems a lot closer to inertial containment than a desktop LENR engine.
