Eric, we need to keep the various discussion separated. Let me list
the various issues.
1. Can energy be concentrated within a material by a spontaneous
process?
2. Can this local energy initiate a nuclear reaction?
3. Can application of energy from any outside source trigger LENR?
4. Does radiation emitted from the nuclear process fuel additional
nuclear reactions?
5. Does energetic helium (alpha) result from LENR?
My comment, about which you asked a question, resulted from a
discussion of #1. I was pointing out that if energy could concentrate
in a chemical system, it would cause many kinds of chemical reactions
besides LENR, most of which would be clearly visible.
I do not understand how your question applies. You are apparently
referring to the radiation resulting from the nuclear reaction. I'm
pointing out that many processes would take place if such local energy
were available. These other expected processes are not observed.
Therefore, the proposed energy does not concentrate, hence is not
available to produce a nuclear reaction. A person should not propose
a process that only affects LENR because no matter what takes place,
it will have a broad range of effects. These other effects besides
LENR must be observed before the proposed process can be believed. The
expected effects of concentrated local energy are not observed.

An earlier calculation suggests that x-rays on the order we're
likely to be talking in a system like this will not make it beyond
the housing of the system [1].
