The primary Piantelli reaction is exclusively based on hydrogen/nickel to copper. This is a weak reaction as far as LENR goes. This is also how Rossi started out, but I think Rossi has increased his LENR power level to move on to more energetic reaction channels. But it is hard to tell what Rossi is doing lately.
Piantelli produces a high energy 6.7 MeV proton as a reaction product and needs to convert that proton via additional secondary reactions using a secondary material to get his power production up to industrial level strength. I suspect that Robert Godes , founder of Brillouin Energy is having the same weak power production issues as Piantelli is having. He would be wise to avoid the use of tranuranic material to avoid NRC interference and licening which is a multi billon dollar cost factor. But the fission of transuranic material will produce a lot of power. Too bad about the NRC.
