It seems they have practical reactor, just not lasting enou:gh

Since originally reported at NETS 2013, considerable progress has been achieved in development of a revolutionary new nuclear power unit using [lexicon]Low Energy Nuclear Reactions[/lexicon] (LENRs). Test units now produce power densities equivalent to fission power plants, but work still needs to be done to insure the long lifetimes required for space applications.

They seems to have developed home-scaled units, about 10kW. The article gives hint on it's architecture:

Others, including Lenuco LLC in collaboration with the NPRE department at the U of Illinois., are working on development of small 10's of kW units. Physically these power units are very simple. Special Ni alloy nano-particles are placed in a pressure vessel which is then pressurized to 60-100 psi with hydrogen to initiate the reaction. With pressure control, these units are expected to run for several years, before replacement of the nano-particles is required due to buildup of transmutation products. Replacement is simply done by substitution of a new cylinder containing fresh particles while the used particles are recycled for use in fresh nano-particles. Our results in terms of energy gain from the pressurized nano-particles are among the best reported in the field to date.

They also seems to have advanced in the understanding of the reaction

The discovery at the University of Illinois of the existence of UltraHigh-Density clusters inside the host material is a break-through development that provides a reproducible approach to loading and subsequent heat production. Both experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated that the hydrogen atoms in these clusters (almost metallic hydrogen) are close enough together that diffusion of another atom into the cluster transfers sufficient momentum to create a nuclear transmutation reaction with the hydrogen and host nickel atoms. Incorporating these clusters into the material has resulted in excess heat experiments that reproducibly produces orders of magnitude more heat energy out than energy in. Since the chemical heat release is limited to the initial pressurization, the energy “gain” for long run is extremely large.

this seems to be "the NAE"

Is it just me or is this one of the best and important official publications we have yet seen?

This means mainstream institutions are getting large amounts of excess heat and are able to control it AND explain it's origin ("UltraHigh-Density clusters inside the host material")? Thes would mean we are just a few month away from an earthshaking press conference? Like 1989, just with a good ending.
Or do I totally missunderstand that paper?

Just printed page 166 for easier use:

There are many claimed "we understood" recently.

I suspect the theory mix ideas from many theories.
Stremmenos support some claims of Ed Storms, and Miley support some competing theories based on clusters.
Brillouin, Rossi seems to have a theory too, maybe the same...

If you see recently highlighted papers (some old), there is new triggering factors, like magnetic field, LASER, superwave, gas permeation, which are well replicated and characterized.

The day a big lab with a hundred of researcher start to work on listing all claims, confirming and characterizing each, and investigating on the NAE characteristics, it will go fast.
Maybe is there such a lab, not so far.
