Note however, that's lukewarm fusion. Not exactly cold. Way more
reactions than predicted by plasma fusion theory, but basically
plasma fusion.
It is certainly logical and conventional to call it lukewarm fusion,
due to the initiating energy. However, I personally think the
distinguishing characteristic of cold fusion is a highly distorted
set of branching ratios. I think the production of delayed x-rays or
UV after energy is no longer supplied is also a characteristic of
cold fusion, and not hot fusion.
