Then that is precisely why it is wrong. If complete leak-proof gamma shielding is possible - we do not need LENR and we can go directly to subcritical fission, photofission or a small scale hybrid with a desktop accelerator - which is known, proved and reliable. Natural uranium is two orders of magnitude cheaper than deuterium. Who needs deuterium if gammas can be perfectly shielded by grams of loaded metal? Whether this suggestion is amenable to you is a different question. Forget me. Who is it amenable to? Answer: a handful of LENR proponents who started out in PdD and refuse to see that Rossi is very different, or who would love to find something better but have no option? Where is the kilowatt PdD reactor? Cough… cough… Rossi is the future of LENR and it is counterproductive to be lost in the past. PdD is an exercise in futility. But such 100 percent efficiency in fractionation is what is implied in the PdD research. No it isn’t. Lack of gammas ab initio is what is implied in LENR research. The two are completely different, not different ways of saying the same thing. Jones
