The fission reactor is extremely inefficient in its use of nuclear fuel. The limiting factor in the nuclear fuel utilization is the zirconium cladding that enclosed the fuel pellet. This pellet is exposed to extreme neutron radiation and must retain the ultra-high gas (xenon) pressures that the fission reaction produces. This fuel rod is removed from the fission reactor with a large amount of fissile isotopes remaining in order to protect the structural integrity of the pellet’s structure. On the other hand, the LENR process can utilize a wide range of elements at near perfect efficiency in an iterative reaction where each reaction product in the feedstock of the next iterative cascade reaction. One atom may be used 20 times in a LENR reaction before it is spent. I would estimate that the efficiency estimation of 100 times is an underestimation of the effective power density efficiency difference derived from these respective feedstocks. Explaining the QM reasons for why LENR performs its wonders is a waste of time and effort for people with a disposition like Cude. It is like explaining how a rocket works to a muleskinner.
