W-L. is just a 1-neutron theory. Anyway, it gives weird results, for
example, the resulting materials should be very radioactive.
I believe that's correct. There is a rate problem, which is that the
rate for the initial reaction is low, it must be, or these effects
would be commonly observed, but to get the observed effects, more
than one reaction is necessary, and why this would have a very high
rate when the original reaction has a low rate, I've seen no explanation for.
(Experimental results have shown that the main product associated
with the FPHE is helium, but W-L theory would seem to predict much
higher percentages of other products. To get to helium this way
requires two or three reactions to take place, but where are the
intermediates, that would be expected to be present in higher quantities.)
Further, the surface conditions ("heavy electrons") that allegedly
catalyze the formation of ULM neutrons, that then suppress the gammas
would not be persistent long enough to catch all the gammas, even if
somehow they were 100% efficient immediately. There would be
"leakage," around the edges and after the heavy electron effect passes.
