Fran-- I agree fully.

Conducting protons? Surely not for loading hydrogen. I have never heard that. Surely you read Ahern's Arata replication for EPRI ? He achieved better loading than the standard of 1:1 with nickel-palladium alloy (at low Pd ratio in the alloy). Many alloys which are tailored for hydrogen storage are in fact better than palladium for that single property (which is the atomic ratio of lattice atoms to hydrogen atoms) This does not meant they will be more active for LENR - only that they will absorb more atoms of hydrogen per atom of lattice. That is what they are designed for. In fact, the alloys which store the most hydrogen are most often NOT anomalous as to energy release, when further stimulated. Unfortunately, the two fields have not been systematically investigated for determining the best of both worlds. Jones
