The cold fusion process does not produce gamma for several reasons.
Immediate release of gamma does not occur because such a reaction is not
effective in conserving the momentum of the reaction. Instead, if a
reaction is to occur at all, two charged particle must be emitted. Of
course, some of the energy and momentum can go directly into the
lattice, but the amount can not be very large as shown by studies of
this process independent of CF. Gamma radiation is not emitted as a
delayed release of energy because none is stored in the products. The
reaction at low energy apparently goes to the lowest energy state
immediately. In other words, the conditions in which such reactions
occur make a big difference to how energy is released.
Anyway this is my humble explanation.

Isn't it strange that Ed Storms' paper reports no gammas either, yet the
radiation implies particle energies in the MeV range?
Note the effect of oxygen and hydrocarbons in the Storms experiment
where one would expect the quasi-stable entity to be found. (Argon in
the O2 ?) A deuteron or proton impacting a heavier (higher Z) atom
Strange indeed, I've always speculated that the energy, which is
normally expressed as a gamma, goes else where. Perhaps the good doctor
will talk to us about this.
