The only way to answer this question is to know how many nuclear events
are occurring per second. In hot fusion, this rate can be measured by
measuring the neutron production rate. This quaNTITY is then compared
it to the energy being produced. This comparison is not possible during
cold fusion because He-4 is made instead of neutrons. However, when
energy production is compared to the amount of He-4, the result is
consistent with the known amount of energy that should result from this
reaction. This comparison is discussed in "A Student's Guide to Cold
Fusion" that is on the LENR website.

I am still looking for an answer to the question i posed, are CF
researchers seeing as much energy as they would expect to see if the
same number of reactions were occurring under hot fusion?
