In nanoplasmonics, Hot Spots have be experimentally verified to produce solitons with a EMF power density of 100 terawatts per cm2 before the sensors blew out. Not finding this behavior is a result of not looking in the proper text book. If you want to understand LENR, you need to understand nanoplasmonics.
