If these are small enough to result in fusion/fission reactions, then these reactions can in turn create more fast particles..... The process stops when the local micro supply of H is consumed, and the net result is an extremely hot "spot" resulting in melting of the immediate material, hence Mizuno's craters, and Rossi's "zones".[/snip] Robin, I agree with your net Result- which is an extremely hot "spot" resulting in melting of the immediate material, hence Mizuno's craters, and Rossi's "zones" but not so much the way you arrived at it. Radiation may trigger an avalanche hydrino RE-CREATION mechanism but the hydrinos and dihydrinos already existed before the trigger was introduced as a function of the catalyst geometry. The sudden trigger just pushes any stressed dihydrinos (in the lattice?) over their disassociation threshold and allows the freed hydrinos to reform a dihydrino at some new fractional value. The newly formed dihydrino can release more energy in the form of heat then you invested in the trigger if the change in energy density induced by random gas motion relative to Casimir geometry(ZPE)is strong enough. IMHO the trigger short stops this opposition to the covalent bond before the energy can be converted into kinetic energy Repelling the molecule away from the change in energy density. Because this is an ashless chemical reaction you can average the thermal cost of bringing the gas up to near disassociation level over countless cycles between H1 and H2 such that you only need to make a small Gain over the trigger energy to accumulate a profit. There is however a need to collect your profit very carefully to keep the system In a very narrow thermal range relative to the threshold. I won't speak to the nuclear paths which are beyond my skill set but I am convinced the interim step is of ashless chemistry of fh1 <-> fh2 where nature provides energy for both directions.
