If an explosion in a LENR system were possible, it would have happen in the 30 some years that LENR experiments have been going on all over the world. No explosions of note have occurred in all that time and in all those places.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosion We need to analyze the LENR reaction against the various types of explosive reactions to determine what could possibly occur. I suppose a LENR water based system can be confined in a boiler were pressure is allowed to build to an explosive level. But the context for weapons development is confined to nuclear based explosives. LENR has not been seen to produce fission or fusion or neutrons. The LENR reaction produces matter decay into mesons. This process is most likely not an explosive reaction. Yes, muon catalyzed fusion is possible, but that type of nuclear reaction is not known to be explosive.
