Given the results of the SIMS analysis from the Lugano report, particularly
as detailed in this posting:

I believe that it is possible to evaluate the nuclear activity of candidate
fuel samples simply by sputter-cleaning them as part of a ToF-SIMS analysis.
If researchers with access to such analytic equipment were willing to run
the experiment, I believe that a successful replication of Rossi's reaction
can be observed occurring with before-and-after spectra of the fuel.
So, skip the reactors, start evaluating powders in the SEM itself!
I sure hope this helps,
