Does anyone else see that the explanation given by Godes is pure word
salad having no relationship to reality. The description is in direct
and basic conflict with what is known and accepted in science. I'm
flabbergasted that money is being spent and discussion is taking place
based on such total absence of basic understanding. THe LENR process
deserves better.

Were they either (a) unconvinced, (b) already allied with others,
(c) directed not to engage with Brillouin, (d) reluctant for other
reason?
If I recall correctly, Godes claims the absence of tritium is due to
its
conversion to the very short-lived H-4, which quickly converts to He.
My interpretation of one of Godes' brief comments is that he
attributes
lack of energetic decay products to the slow compressive nature of the
collisions - instead of usual crashing, bare particle collider
collisions.
I think a couple of other people have speculated this could be the
case
- possibly due to slow "resonant tunneling."
Just my quick take on this.

The reason for this interview is that Brillouin needs some money for
development of their gas phase reactor.
Brillouin is proposing that their reaction is a variant of the
Widom-Larsen
theory, where a fast electron combines with a proton to become a
neutron
(reverse beta decay). The Brillion gas phase reaction uses nickel and
hydrogen. Tritium is produced in the claimed reaction cycle but
only for
nanoseconds so tritium production cannot be detected. This non
detection
of
reaction components is convenient to support the Brillouin reaction
narrative: no neutrons of gamma radiation have been detected.
