It is hard to separate Mills' theory from Holmlid's work. They are
likely to be complementary with both offering important details. One
early experiment for a "critical volume" validation could involve the
catalytic propensity of reactor itself. IOW - a large volume with NO
added catalyst other than the reactor onterior surface - that, in
itself, could produce a thermal or photon emission anomaly.
The main detail to keep in mind - the type of stainless steel used.
Stainless steel contains nickel and iron - both catalysts according to
Mills but requiring high ionization. Perhaps a dedicated catalyst is
unnecessary if the reactor composition is optimum. The best reactor
choice to investigate would be grade 316 stainless. [...]
On a related note, Simon Brink proposed a good while back an experiment
with electrolytically H-loaded SS316 plates exposed to infrared light;
he suggested that excess heat would be generated with high
repeatability, using thermometry.

I'm not entirely convinced by this approach as electrolysis could affect
surface emissivity (the cathode can turn dark or black after prolonged
electrolysis), but it could be a starting point under simpler
experimental conditions.
