Interesting. This ties in with the hypothesis that metallic hydrogen (as found in stars) can form a lattice configuration that provides a substrate for LENR to occur even in stars. That lattice structure can explain the formation, within stars, of ALL elements, even the very heavy ones.

Yup. One of the highest luminaries in Japan’s Nuclear program, Yoshiaki Arata, proposed a LENR theory touching on that.

Abstract:
It was confirmed that nanometer-sized metal powder (atom clusters or simply
clusters) can absorb an extremely large amount of deuterium/hydrogen atoms more than
300% against the number density of host metal.
Within such clusters, the bonding potential
widely changes from the center region to peripheral ones, so that the zig-zag atom-chains are
always formed dynamically around the average position of atoms and the degree of filling up
of the constituent atoms for the fcc type metal reduces to about 0.64 from 0.74 in bulk metal,
i.e., vacant space increases to 0.36 from 0.26.
As a result, a large amount of
deuterium/hydrogen atoms are instantly dissolved into such host-clusters at room
temperature. Furthermore, “metallic deuterium lattice” (or hydrogen one) including locally
the “deuterium-lump” with the ultrahigh density is formed with body centered cuboctahedral
structure which belongs to a unit cell of the host lattice, while such event cannot be realized
at all within bulk metals.
It seems that nuclear fusion in solid (“solid fusion”) takes place in
the highly condensed “deuterium-lump” inside each unit cell of the “metallic deuterium
lattice” (or mixed hydrogen one) which is formed inside each cell of the host metal lattice. It
is considered, therefore, that each unit cell of the host lattice corresponds to minimum units
of “solid fusion reactor”.
In order to achieve “solid fusion”, just the generation of the
ultrahigh density “deuterium-lump” (simply “pycnodeuterium-lump”) coagulated locally
inside the unit cell of the host lattice and/or the highly condensed metallic deuterium lattice
should be an indispensable condition.
It was Yoshiaki Arata’s pycnodeuterium results which triggered my re-interest in LENR.
