Some pretty dramatic results, some positive but most a bust on a very random basis.
In retrospect this was probably due to using catalysts that loaded with deuterium macroscopically on a consistent basis, but failed to interpenetrate into the proper lattice configuration except in a very infrequent and random fashion.
Seems properly engineering the incorporation of the deuterium into the optimum metallurgy to provide a consistent, properly structured lattice configuration that generates fusion could be the key.
It remains to be seen if there is a sweet spot were deuterium loading gives a high enough probability of proximate deuterium molecules to support sustained, controlled fusion without melt down or worse.
Good to see this is finally coming to fruition but glad I backed away as 32 years is a bit to long to see practical results and commercialization is still well into future.
FWIW, US DOE owns all patents for nuclear process technolgy
I think there are multiple nuclear processes going on , wherein the one that generates neutrons is what triggers the secondary nuclear process, p-p fusion which is what occurs in our Sun and is the most common naturally occurring nuclear fusion process in Nature... by far.
You’re relatively new here, so you might not be aware of how controversial this subject is here on FR.
Back in 2008 I started posting LENR articles, and in 2010 I wrote an article about how I made money on Cold Fusion.

Then along came this guy Andrea Rossi. Promising results at irst, along with 3rd party testing. But the guy looked and acted like such a scam artist that it triggered the a$$#0/e brigade here on FR. I posted Rossi articles for 2&half months, but they hounded legitimate cold fusion threads for 2&half YEARS. We never had an experimentalist like you on those threads. It got pretty ugly.
I kept asking the mods for protection, a lot like how the qanonsense nutjobs have protection on their own q threads today. One of the mods even outed himself, having posted as a pure a$$#0/e on cold fusion threads but when he opused oout it turns out he wasn’t very conservative nor did he have any scientific training whatsoever. Bigfoot and chemtrails were okay with him but he joined the seagulls on the cold fusion threads.
I’ll probably be restarting the cold fusion ping list, but it is likely to be short lived if we don’t get legitimate moderator protection.
