It's just a hit-piece by the hot-fusion crowd who is probably getting some deeper scrutiny by funding entities, or the political entities who supply the funding. pretty much expected, and likely to get more intense as time goes by. I guess LENR is past the ridiculed stage; we're in the 'violently opposed' stage now and it'll likely get much more intense.
The good news is that the 'accepted as being self-evident' stage is next!

Low Energy Nuclear Reactions? by A.D. Polosa (Dip. Fisica, Sapienza Universita di Roma), R. Faccini (Dip. Fisica, Sapienza Universita di Roma) Thursday, 16 January 2014 from 16:30 to 17:30 (Europe/Zurich) at CERN ( 503-1-001 - Council Chamber ) Description After an introduction to the controversial problem of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) catalyzed by neutrons on metallic hydride surfaces we present the results of an experiment, made in collaboration with ENEA Labs in Frascati, to search neutrons from plasma discharges in electrolytic cells. The negative outcome of our experiment goes in the direction of ruling out those theoretical models expecting LENR to occur in condensed matter systems under specific conditions. Our criticism on the theoretical foundations of such models will also be presented. https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=294134
