From the paper:

“The authors claim to produce a source that emits approximately a few Hz, perhaps 10 Hz, 14 MeV DT neutrons.
This is a formidable source. The rate of 2.5 MeV DD neutron source should be considerably (many order
of magnitudes) stronger. Such a strong source of 2.5 and 14 MeV neutrons should be easily detectable with
live electronical [sic] neutron detector. The fact that the authors did not make an attempt to measure these
neutrons with the more reliable neutron detectors speaks volume of the less than adequate research effort.”

If there is anything known about LENR from experiment, it is that the main energy-producing path is aneutronic. Other pathways that have much lower occurance rates produce tritium, gamma rays, and a VERY FEW neutrons.
