Unlike many old school LENR theorists, let’s give W&L some credit, they are moving away from ultra-low energy neutrons to high EMF field transmutation. But they still have some ground to make up. This new theory does not address why even numbered nucleon elements react in LENR and odd ones do not react.
It also does not explain how accelerated decay of radioactive isotopes occurs. The new “Giant dipole resonances” theory is a global causation reaction that is not sensitive enough to distinguish between nucleon odd/even configuration and accelerated radioactive decay. They need to study up on the Higgs mechanism, dual superconductive nuclear quark confinement and quarks as monopoles; all mainstream standard model theories.
