Terry,
I think there are at least 2 levels of activation and the
imperfections in the lattice you mention are a priori. I was
a long time convinced that the Casimir effect was limited to the Casimir
geometry but have come to believe that these cavities can translate resident
gases into fractional clusters that can then self maintain their fractional
arrangement to migrate and store themselves in the same lattice vacancies
normally occupied by a single hydrogen proton. Perhaps the differences Jones
was alluding to regarding materials that produce heat like Ni-H vs
materials that produce good loading ratios for ICF targets relates to the
geometry of the undamaged lattice and the cluster formations. If Rossi has
found a method to amplify the heat generation it may actually be by means of
preventing the clusters in the lattice.. This is assuming some balance
between the initial formation of these clusters in the cavities and the
ability of the surrounding lattice to maintain the clusters.
Regards
Fran

the crystal boundries which causes the nuclear reactions.
