This could be the case also.
It seems that most reported LENR surface phenomena result when intense
local currents are generated either locally by superfocusing of e-m energy
by nanostructures, or, maybe by these plasma jets from collapsing bubbles,
by electron arcs/beams, or by current filaments during dielectric
breakdown.
Nanospire report that the isotopes generated are short-lived.
Assuming their measurements are accurate, why should this be?
