My sense is that the jury is still out, and that the researchers haven't been paying close attention to this until more recently. (I do not see correlation of 4He with heat in Pd/D systems as a counter-argument, since it is possible that this is due to alpha decay, or that there is agglomeration of the kind that Terry hinted at.) It's actually pretty cool that transmutations are a well-known result of electric arc discharges, if this is true. Perhaps this has been LENR all along, staring back at us, but we wanted to build Tokamaks. Eric
