Bob- That much is almost true, but you overlook the 800 pound gorilla in the corner - TSC. Maybe you are unfamiliar with it. This happens to be one of the more credible versions of Pd-D in my opinion since no gamma is expected - yet the kinetics of the reaction produce bremsstrahlung. Apparently many in Japan think that Takahashi's version makes the most sense also but AFAIK he has not documented the spectra of the B word. He postulates that a BEC of deuterons is more likely to produce 2 energetic alphas from 4 deuterons than the alternative situation. TSC produces 8Be first which decays into 4He + 4He liberating up to 47.6 MeV of kinetic energy, no gamma and the reaction is known in cosmology from supernova - so it is not an invention. As an alternative of D+D -> He, which has to overcome the huge problem of least-favored-channel, TSC is a superior Point of View to many. It is a very strong argument since no gammas are expected - all kinetic. All B-word. Jones
