It only takes one good experiment to disprove a generalization. Piantelli, like the great scientist that he is has done good work on the nature of the LENR reaction.
In the Piantelli reactor, it is certain that nickel transmutation to copper is just one of many possible reactions that occur in the Ni/H reaction. Let us focus on this one particular copper based reaction for a moment. Some important insight can be gleaned from the Piantelli cloud chamber experiment about some of the quantum mechanics of the LENR transmutation of nickel into copper. While the Piantilli reactor is in operation, no large photons or particle are seen. But in this cloud chamber experiment, Piantelli removes one of his nickel rods from his reactor and places into in a cloud chamber. This move of the bar into the chamber must have had to take an extended period of time assuming the reactor is cooled down enough to be disassembled. This means that the release of 6 MeV of LENR reaction energy derived from the binding force of nickel after it is transmuted into copper of a high energy proton takes a macroscopic amount of time: taking from minutes to hours. What supports this delay? This long delay in the relaxation of the excited nickel nucleus means that after the double proton pair (proton dimer) has entered into the nickel nucleus, the nickel retains its original atomic number, that is, it is still nickel; it remains nickel even though there is many additional protons resident inside the nickel nucleus. Let us consider Quantum superposition. Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics. It holds that a physical system -- such as a nucleus--can exist partly in all its particular, theoretically possible states (or, configuration of its properties) simultaneously; but, when measured, it gives a result corresponding to only one of the possible configurations (as described in interpretation of quantum mechanics). The excited nickel nucleus is both nickel and copper at the same time. The principle of quantum superposition states that if a physical system: i.e. an arrangement of subatomic particles or fields may be in some configuration and if the system could also be in another configuration, then it is in a state which is a superposition of the two, where the probability of each configuration that is in the superposition is specified by a complex number. Erwin Schrödinger explained this concept through his famous thought experiment "Schrödinger's cat" The thought experiment is also often featured in theoretical discussions of the interpretation of quantum mechanics. In the course of developing this experiment, Schrödinger coined the term Verschränkung (entanglement). What would usually happen is that a 6 MeV photon would exit the nickel to copper nucleus. But when the LENR reaction cools, standard rules of physics take effect again. Because the proton is delayed in its exit from the nickel nucleus, this proves that an entangled proton pair enters into this nucleus because just like in the thought experiment "Schrödinger's cat" the proton pair infects the larger system: this nickel nucleus with proton entanglement. Only when energy is release does the superposition of the nuclear state resolve into decoherence. Decoherence always results from energy release from the nucleus. What a LENR theory must explain is what quantum mechanical conditions can produce an entangled proton dimer. There has to be an explanation of proton cooper pair formation. Cluster fusion of multiple nuclei happen and because the LENR positive feedback mechanism has been disabled when the Nickel bar is removed from the reactor( it cools). And the thermalization of gammas no longer occurs.
