He does not use protium. He uses ordinary hydrogen. In the cell
some of it is broken down into atomic hydrogen. That is what

I said ‘eventually’ because it is exactly what happens. Of course
you know that in English ‘eventually’ means ‘after some time’.We
know exactly why and how to make H after the injection of H2 and
know exactly how difficult is to use this radical before H2
recombination. This is one of the most important parts of our know
how. When we use terms, in this field, we know exactly what we say.
We not just made models and calculations, but we made apparatuses
which are working from 2 years now. What we are working on is no
more an ‘experimental set’, as you wrongly wrote,it is an apparatus
which heats up a factory and of which we are organizing the
industrialization. I understand you get fun, we don’t: we work on
this in a factory totally dedicated to this, and we are pretty good
at, as you soon will see. In our team there are Nuclear Physics
University professors, with experience from CERN of Geneva, INFN,
etc., etc.
Your lecturing and sarcastic tone does not qualify you a lot, but
we know, you get fun…
About the second question, yes, the paper has been peer-reviewed.
It would be helpful if you could designate in some way which material
is quoted and which is yours. I looked at the above reference and
found this:

Get fun, ‘MR BROWN’, and let your sun smile for ever.
A.R.
p.s. Now, after your lecturing, I want to put you some questions:
1- Who are you? D.Brown is a fake name, so you approached us
unonimously, which is not fair, is it? But I know: it’s fun..
2- which is your profession? What do you do, besides cozy smiling suns?

end quote.
This material you quote says nothing about protium vs deuterium.
Protium is an isotope of hydrogen, whether it is in molecular form or
not. It is designated 1H1, while deuterium is designated 1H2, or
D. The deuterium ion is designated d, but I have avoided that lower
case use because I use d for the down quark.
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, whether it is in molecular form
or not. Same goes for absorbed into a lattice or not. "Ordinary"
hydrogen is a mix of protium and deuterium. The natural abundance of
deuterium is about 0.015%. Ordinary hydrogen is mostly H2, but
occasionally (again about 0.015%) it is HD, and rarely (2.25 x 10^-8
%) DD.
Somewhere I read that Rossi said deuterium poisons the reaction, so
he uses pure protium. Perhaps he did, perhaps it is just my bad
memory, perhaps just an unfounded rumor. It sounded weird to me
because pure protium is hard to come by. I'm not going to spend any
time looking this up though. I did state: "If I recall correctly,
Rossi stated that deuterium kills the reaction, and that he uses pure
protium." Perhaps someone here is familiar with this statement by
Rossi.
