Well, for me, this is the most 'relevant' work on "lattice confinement" to facilitate nuclear reactions.
Is it still LENR or not? I'd say yes, because in some cases, spallation is also involved in Lenr, and therefore neutrons, as in this NASA work.
Now, for space applications, do they still really need this kind of technology, because over time, the current fission technology has also evolved ?

Assessing the Feasibility of Lattice Confinement Fusion for a Deep Space Propulsion System
... "Experimental data from both systems were gathered to estimate propulsion performance parameters and approximate power generation to assess the feasibility of applying LCF to a deep space propulsion system. LCF can produce high-energy exhaust particles with specific impulse exceeding 10^6 s. However, this first-order assessment suggests LCF's infeasibility for the applications proposed due to the low thrust and power generated." ...

.... "Attempts have been made to replicate the results of Steinetz, et al.
Our initial tritium level measurements are well explained by D(n,g)T alone
We do not yet see evidence of Steinetz, et al.’s results" ...
TTU
Strangly this paper did'nt take in account as option a spallation process howewer related in some works ?

Great find. Thank you.

Do you have a date on this? In Sept 2023 you also posted this RE: NASA’s Lattice Confined Fusion (LCF) about a failed attempt by TTU (Duncan's team) to replicate NASA's LCF, and curious if your post today is something new.
