It strikes me that this is essentially the mechanism that Neal Graneau
proposed to be responsible for the arc-liberated emission of energy in
papers such as
https://www.academia.edu/download/38880867/Graneau-e-a-Arc-liberated-chemical-energy-exceeds-electrical-input-energy-2000.pdf
However, I dont beleive there is a phase change in the water that could
be associated with such an energy release., which is one of the reasons
why I dont think Neal's hypothesis holds water,

Definition of /decalescence/
: the decrease in temperature when the rate of heat absorption during
transformation exceeds the rate of heat input while heating metal

This concept described in Wikipedia seems like LENR to me. It
involves the 2^nd law regarding an increase of entropy in a
coupled system as a result of as a result of a decrease of
potential energy and an increase of kinetic energy.
If the Sandia incident occurred during cooling while magnetization
was ongoing, this alone would deserved a paper IMHO.
However, Gibbs did not consider free energy associated with
nuclear structures as being important in his theory.
Note the BS associated with a constant Gibbs free energy (more or
less the same) in 2 different phases associated with
*Recalescence* .
