I suggested a possible means to beat this co-location problem (and
thus cause fusion) here in 1996. It is described here:

Once we have simple, cheap, standard cells operating and available
and being produced in quantity, it becomes possible to efficiently
test lots of ideas. Adding some radioisotope that might co-deposit
with the palladium and deuterium could be pretty simple to do. And if
we can develop sensors and sensor analysis that show in real time the
level of nuclear activity, we might get very quick results. Thus even
long shots might be tested. Has the idea of seeding the palladium
deuteride with alpha or beta emitters been tried?
