Jones-
Another item relative to the theory would be that the larger structure of the Fullerene relative the carbon tube would be a larger population of H within the structure and a greater probability of interaction. The largeness of the QM system may make fractionation more probable also. The magnetic field may allow the spheres to align so as to increase the B field within any sphere. What the nature of the Ni in the C matrix and its magnetic properties is anybody's guess. Keep in mind that the alloys of Ni sometimes have very large magnetic susceptibility.

Hi Bob, What would be the theory of why this is preferable for LENR to a simple mix of nickel nanopowder and either CNT or fullerenes ? You would probably lose the ferromagnetism of Ni with a molecular synthesis, whereas a mix would retain it.
