There is too much unknown physics happening inside the Ni/H reactor to support the analysis that has been supplied in this paper.
First off, only fusion is sited as occurring in the Ni/H reaction. There is good evidence from the characterization of the ash coming from the Ni/H reactors to support the limitation of just fusion as this reaction’s only nuclear mechanism. The most appropriate characterization of the Ni/H reaction is that the nuclear process underway is producing quark plasma where the nucleus rearranges itself in a new lattice configuration of protons and neutrons. In explanation, the nucleus seems to have seven magic numbers. An atom with a magic number of protons or neutrons is super stable. When both the protons and neutrons are magic, that's a double magic atom. There are only seven of them. The seven magic numbers are 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126. They are the number of nucleons - which can be either protons or neutrons - you need to fill up the shells found in the atomic nucleus. The completely filled shells cause the atomic nucleus to be more tightly bound together than simple calculations would predict, meaning the magic atoms are unusually stable. So, if both the neutrons and protons happen to be magic numbers, the atom is not only extra stable, but its nucleus is also rigidly symmetrical, which is very unusual and helps observers confirm the doubly magic properties of the atom. These isotopes - which include helium-4 (2 protons and 2 neutrons, and one of the most abundant isotopes in the universe), lead-208 (82 protons and 126 neutrons, and the heaviest stable atom), and the pair of calcium-48 and nickel-48 (the former has 20 protons and 28 neutrons, while the latter is vice versa). The latest to be discovered is tin-132, which has 50 protons and 82 neutrons. These protons and neutrons form proton and neutron lattice layers as follows The magic numbers are then • 2 • 8=2+6 • 20=2+6+12 • 28=2+6+12+8 • 50=2+6+12+8+22 • 82=2+6+12+8+22+32 • 126=2+6+12+8+22+32+44 • 184=2+6+12+8+22+32+44+58 Miley and Hora identified that nuclei undergoing a LENR reaction want to stabilize at the highly stable double magic number configuration. This is because neutrons want to be paired with protons to form a symmetrical nucleus with perfectly shaped lattice based shells. . Elements with lots of unpaired neutrons like Th232 and U238 would make for great LENR metals. These metals would stabilize at lead 208. Some nuclides are double-magic, in that the number of protons and neutrons are both magic, such as helium-4, oxygen-16, calcium-40, calcium-48, nickel-48, and lead-208. These isotopes are particularly stable and this is where LENR wants to go. Hora who is Miley’s collaborator, makes a convincing case that the nucleus conforms to a R (n) (n = 1, 2, 3…) of the Boltzmann probabilities, namely R (n) = 3 to the nth power. This suggests a threefold property of stable configurations at magic numbers in Nuclei, consistent with a quark property. Now, we can use this nuclear engineering background to predict what the LENR ash content will look like when the nucleus is broken down into a quark soup. In LENR two concurrent processes are occurring simultaneously: fusion and fission. Fusion occurs when more than one nucleus is affected in the zone of the reaction. The relative strength of these two reactions will reflect the amount of screening that the reactor can produce. Elements built up by the fusion process will be subsequently disassembled by a fission process. But the chances are good that you can expect to see proton magic number elements like helium, calcium, oxygen, nickel, tin and lead appear in the LENR ash because they are proton magic number elements. Also, you can expect to see Neutron magic number isotopes favored in LENR. Furthermore thing get more complicated, it is a well-known fact that the lowering of the coulomb barrier in the nucleus can increase the radiation levels of alpha emitters. When screening intensity is increased, it is reasonable to expect that other light elements besides Helium(Z=2) will be expelled(aka fission) from the nucleus. These are Lithium(Z=3) , Beryllium(Z=4), and Boron(Z=5). Also intermediate elements will form that result from the emissions of these light elements like iron, chromium vanadium, titanium, and scandium. Sulfur(Z=16) will form from the beryllium(Z=4) emission from calcium(Z=20). The large amount of iron found in the ash products of the Ni/H reaction point to alpha decay of nickel. Many of these questions can be either laid to rest or verified by the type of experimentation that Defkalion plans to do in the near future.
