Bob Higgins--Bob Cook here-- I agree with your logic regarding 100% efficient fractionating as possible. As I noted in an earlier comment Mosier-Boss etal at SPAWAR saw two separate reactions, the one LENR with no radiation being D-D going to He-4. It was also the dominant reaction that happened in their Pd-D unshielded cell.

What I have come to believe and what I initially missed, and what I think many Vorts may be missing in this, is that the LENR reaction and the fractionating are not two separate processes. Jones (et al) are correct that if there is a fractionating mechanism that is an independent effect, it could not be 100% efficient and some high energy photons would escape as a marker of this inefficiency. The important possibility to realize is that the fractionating and the LENR are both part of the SAME mechanism. There can be no leaks because without the fractionating mechanism operating, there would not be any LENR. On each pair of hydrons, the fractionating mechanism is required to allow the nuclear reaction to occur. This guarantees no leakage, except for secondary effects. So in this scenario, 100% efficient fractionating is possible. Bob Higgins
