I have been afraid of this for 20 years. :( If this were the only type of reaction, it could mean LENR would primarily be useful for production of elements/isotopes that are in low supply, rather than as a source of energy. However it may also be possible to provide starting combinations where no good low energy match is possible, forcing the process to release considerable energy. BTW this sort of process appears to crop up whenever the reaction site is flooded with electrons. (See also Proton21 in Russia, and even Mills' latest efforts may be an example.) I wonder if one of their (inadvertent?) criteria was that the products be stable nuclei? Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
