The long half life means it should be VERY evident.
There should be massive radioactivity from any such reaction, and yet there
is none.
Whatever is allowing the nuclear reaction may also accelerate the
decay of unstable elements; LENR is fairly well known, from P-F class
experiments, to result in only stable isotopes, and my guess is that
this is a consequence of the reaction environment, such as a
Bose-Einstein condensate or other cluster that allows fusion.
In the case of BEC fusion, such as Takahashi's TSC theory, whatever
takes place inside the BEC is like in a black box. When the box is
opened, there are only the final products and what happened "inside"
is not discoverable. The energy released is distributed, perhaps,
among all the products, and they will all be stable.
Trying to guess what's going on in the Rossi work is hazardous, there
is way too little information. But some are going to do it anyway,
trying to develop independent experimental approaches. The prize
could be enormous. If someone figures out what Rossi is doing and is
first to patent it .... Rosse could suddenly regret all his secrecy.
