Never. But it is somewhat of an eye-opener. So thanks for that reference, Walker!
The surprises include the terminology from 1967 of "[lexicon]Low Energy Nuclear Reactions[/lexicon]". Has the DOE then AEC been working the field since then? Probably not, the name is somewhat of a coincidence. Most here have never been completely satisfied with the name or even the words that compose the acronym LENR.
The rich gamma spectra might be a surprise to some here. But recall that the Firestone "table" is a huge compilation of volumes of perhaps millions of isotopes and their decays. No doubt this data was immediately incorporated into Firestone.
The many short lived isotope gammas (0.6 up to 4 MeV and more) should remind "replicators" of the possible dangers. Notice in this reference they use at least 8 inches of lead, that is >20 cm of Pb to get a gamma free workspace.
