Quickly scanning it (I'm reading it on a small screen on a sea ferry), the premise is that the deuterons don't obey MB statistics (wrong, density not high enough), that there needs to be some modification to the tail-off of the statistics too and that the crossing of grain boundaries relieves the deuterons of their kinetic energy.
>From all this, supposedly all these heavy deuterons can then condense into a BEC state. Then from this belief he derives some bogus selection rules which favors helium production. He derives some nuclear rate reactions that are devoid of the Gamow factor and hails this as proof that the Coulomb repulsion has been overcome and furthermore, since his deuterons have gone into the BEC state, the nuclear reactions he wants then proceed with vigor. So, like I said, who is citing this paper, what was its readership, who cast a critical eye over it? Having something published doesn't make it right, it's the start of the discussion. SO WHO WAS THE INTENDED AUDIENCE IN THIS BIOLOGY JOURNAL!!!
