Tritium is the bane of nuclear energy. The developers of a Ni/H reactor will have done every thing possible to eliminate tritium emanations from their commercial system. > He does not use nano-particles.

As you state truly, the first level is a 3 micron sized particle. But I hope you realize that the second level is a thick coating of nanowire over the entire surface of those micro-particles. These 20 nanometer wires form nano-antennas at their points of contact between abutting micro-particles. These points of contact are the abundant NAE that can boost electric field gain theoretically by a trillion times, and have been experimentally shown in nanoplasmonics to produce a EMF gain of 500,000,000. > > > No one claims light hydrogen makes helium.

Rossi states the same description of his ash in his first patent. DGT sees both lead and boron in their ash, a situation best suited for a theory that addresses the lowering of the coulomb barrier.
