Why wouldn't they go into a more established cold fusion thing? If one could hyper-charge palladium sponge with deuterium (say, by seriously increasing the gas pressure) then - if cold fusion obtains - one could get a homemade H bomb for a song. Nobody has succeeded in doing it, true, but if one could convince crackpot proliferators to waste their resources in this direction, it would be great fun to watch.
