First it must be determined that nickel based systems can not generate electricity in the same general manner. So far we have not actually seen proof that either metal works all that well. I remain skeptical until more evidence becomes available in support of this concept.
I wonder what fraction of the energy release can be directly converted into electricity? Unless it is a large proportion some form of heat powered generator is going to be required anyway. The overall system will have to be optimized.

The cost is cheap if the reactor can produce electricity directly.

Also, why on earth would anyone use such an expensive element if a dirt cheap one can substitute? My suspicion is that this is a dead end idea if production costs are taken into consideration.

I don't know whether Rossi is now using or has used palladium in the past. But one detail in the Lugano report that only became apparent to me much later was that there appears to have been a number of heavy elements in one of the fuel assays in Appendix 3 (see the lower graph, outlined in red). http://i.imgur.com/7RQon11.png Some of these heavier masses were likely to have been compound ions. But it's seems unlikely that 100 percent of them were. Note that palladium overlaps with m=105. Even if palladium were not present, I would not be surprised if one or more heavier elements were. I do not know why this was the only instance in which a graph for m>100 was shown in the appendix. Eric
