I believe that this type of meltdown occurs when nano-particles become dense enough and suspended in the hydrogen gas or another dielectric to support dipole formation and charge separation.
In the Pons & Fleishmann incident, the dielectric could have been glass or concrete. I suppose that if you mix nano-particles in a solid dielectric like glass, the LENR reaction might take hold. If you remember, there was a report that DGT put some glass in their reactor and the glass melted. It may have happened that nano-particles melted into the glass and the reaction took off.
