That’s one miracle. Bob, What you describe is two or possibly three miracles. The first miracle is that deuterium will fuse in a Ni lattice at far less than the threshold energy necessary for nuclear fusion. The second miracle is that the well-known mass difference and high level of excess energy – 24 MeV does not occur immediately, in the form of gamma radiation. The third miracle is that the more probable fusion reactions of deuterium – which normally happen with the release of neutrons or tritium, either of which are easily detectable, never happen at all.
