Ed, I am intrigued by your idea that the lack of gammas could be explained by fusion process which happens gradually rather than suddenly as is the case with hot fusion. However, on the one hand you say the fusion of protons and deuterons supplies the energy necessary to over come coulomb repulsion between Ni nucleus and the fusion products, but on the other hand you do not say where the energy comes from to over come the coulomb repulsion that exists among protons and deuterons. While it is possible to reduce the energy required by placing an electron between protons and deuterons I doubt this will generate enough fusion reactions and energy if coulomb's law is correct. Or have you done calculations which show that it will?
