Tritium, I believe, is created by the D+e+H fusion reaction. Helium is
produced from the D+e+D reaction, which makes much more energy.
Therefore, a cell making a lot of energy will not produce much tritium
and a cell making tritium will not make much heat. In this way, an
anti-correlation exists.

as far as I remember there is some reason to think that neutrons and
tritium, produced at less tha million less quantity than expected
with hot fusion, are not even produced when there is much anomalous
heat...
Pamela Mosier Boss seems to think it is anticorrelated
Heat+He4 on on side, n+T on the other side
some <500keV gamma in both case?
Maybe Ed could make a summary.
if that experiment, and many replications, are used to rule-out some
theories, like W-L, that is science.
the comments about thermalization, seems supported by many
physicist, and on that point I think they are competent... at worst
there is a new mechanism required to complete WL and explain
99.9999% cross-section.
if absence of neutrons is used to ruleout heat observations, it is
the usual aristotelian anti-science that spread in Wikipedia, SciAm,
Nature/Science, APS/caltech and similar churches and comics.
note that if they observe the small usual neutron flux in plasma
cell, it is LENR.
they have to admit something happen... not what they imagine, but it
happen.
but I'm sure they are not honest enough to admit it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink
Type I: Overestimations of the group — its power and morality
Illusions of invulnerability creating excessive optimism and
encouraging risk taking.
Unquestioned belief in the morality of the group, causing members to
ignore the consequences of their actions.
Type II: Closed-mindedness
Rationalizing warnings that might challenge the group's assumptions.
Stereotyping those who are opposed to the group as weak, evil,
biased, spiteful, impotent, or stupid.
Type III: Pressures toward uniformity
Self-censorship of ideas that deviate from the apparent group
consensus.
Illusions of unanimity among group members, silence is viewed as
agreement.
Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the
group, couched in terms of "disloyalty"
Mind guards— self-appointed members who shield the group from
dissenting information.
Groupthink, resulting from the symptoms listed above, results in
defective decision-making. That is, consensus-driven decisions are
the result of the following practices of groupthinking[14]
Incomplete survey of alternatives
Incomplete survey of objectives
Failure to examine risks of preferred choice
Failure to reevaluate previously rejected alternatives
Poor information search
Selection bias in collecting information
Failure to work out contingency plans.

It will be interesting if they report excess heat AND no neutrons.
Of course, if they report NO excess heat and NO neutrons then it's
just an experimental blank.
