The part about cold fusion is on pages 15, 16 and 17. It begins:
Farther Term
LENR - Revived (after experiments earlier in the 1900s) in the late 1980s [ref. 28] and dubbed
“Cold Fusion,” what is now usually termed LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions) was an
experimental discovery with replication issues at the time and lacked an acceptable theory.
Now, three decades of extant worldwide experiments [ref. 29] indicate “something nuclear” is
real. However, there does not yet exist a cogent, verified theory and therefore LENR has been
looked at with askance by the physics community. There are now extant recent weak force and
other weak neutron-based theories (not “hot” fusion) involving surface plasmons, electroweak
interactions explicable via QED on surfaces, collective effects, heavy electrons, ultraweak
neutrons, and utilizing neutron generation to obviate coulomb barrier issues. There are now
many patents and LENR is beginning to evolve into the marketplace. Given a validated theory to
engineer, scale, and make safe, LENR would obviously be a major world energy revolution,
especially with observed energy density levels surpassing those of chemical energy. In fact,
LENR has been observed in the tens to hundreds and theoretical possibilities into the many
thousands times chemical energy density levels. In the Widom-Larsen Theory [ref. 30], H2 is
adsorbed or “loaded” onto a metal surface and the resulting surface plasmon initiates collective
effects. Some energy is added and several types of energy appear to work. From the LENR
experiments and a sizable body of applicable related research, nano cracks/asperities in the
surface morphology concentrate energy over an area and produce high localized voltage
gradients. Such voltage gradients excite collective electrons to combine with protons in the
surface plasmon to form ultraweak neutrons. These neutrons readily interact, producing neutron
rich isotopes which undergo beta decay and transmutations. The heavy electron cloud converts
the beta decay to heat, sans worrisome radiation and coulomb barrier issues, in agreement with
experiment(s). . . .
etc.The wording on this Bushnell document while new (July 2021), reads like it was written a few years ago. Nothing he goes on to say after this section refers to the newer Forsley/Pines and team hybrid LENR space power generation system.
Ahlfor's claims the program was canceled, but I still am not sure about that.
-
Heavily into Widom-Larsen, including transmutations.
-
Widom-Larsen is the SO(4) model i expect.
-
-
I take that to mean you are not "exactly" certain now that the joint NASA/GEC "Development and Testing of a High Power Space Generator" has been canceled or retracted.
Anyway, I emailed Forsley and asked...making it a point to tell him LF member Ahlfor is one of our most reliable sources. Waiting for his reply; if he will be so kind as to give us one.

Heavily into Widom-Larsen, including transmutations.
This similarity was anticipated by Widom-Larsen theory of LENRs, which has unveiled striking parallels between chemical catalysis and many-body e + p nuclear catalysis
==>The mechanism of Lattice-energy is not SO($) nor EDO but Hidrino.
hidorino is only a hypo and no theoretical study , neither SO(4).
So this many-body e + p nuclear catalysis is actually electron deep orbit theory.
This is incorrect.
The mechanism is more simple.
(A-1) nano-metal particle has the curvature, so the probability of occupation of D at surface T site is higher.

The authors developed the theory that the metal lattice’s negative electrons screened positively charged deuterons to overcome the electrostatic barrier to achieve nuclear fusion initiated by photoneutrons.
However, this is just the hypo and no theoretical study nor experimental data. And probability of collision of hot d to the stationary d is very low due to its size and coulomb repulsive force.
Thus, I developed the Lattice confinement fusion theory based on bond compression.
As is shown in Fig21(A), because Er-D with very high D density is amorphous, it has no clear lattice structure, and Er-d can be compressed efficiently. However, this reactor is no mechanism to compress the bond, and although author think that gamma-ray cause the fusion, I think that the probability of collision of generated d to the d of Er-d seems to be very low due to the coulomb repulsive force as explained in sec 1.1.3, and so I think that their mechanism is incorrect.
I think that Er-D bond compression due to the larger amount of Er-d which can cause by slight fluctuation of the stress of Er-D film as is shown in Fig.19(A). This compression can occur everywhere in the Ni-D film due to the very high concentration of d, and neutral d, which is tightly bound d and electron pair, can fuse to Er and other neutral d with tightly bound electrons. Because the density of Er-D is large, the excess heat is observed only a small percentage of fusion, however, it mainly fuses to Er and transmute Er to the stable element of 168Tr, 169Tr,179Tr, which indicate that the original purpose of this reactor is to prove the cold fusion mechanism not for the actual reactor for commercial/Space use. Thus, I hope NASA will run the experiment to prove the hydride bond compression theory as is in Fig.19(B).

Yes NASA has been preparing for CMNS energy and is not dropping this pursuit.
This, from 2016, shows that Mars radioisotope nuclear power is replaced with LENR power systems.

... tease with beams from Dynamitron a mille-feuille of Er2,3H3 and 238U and you are done ...
-
However, neither NASA nor LBNL were able to model lattice confinement fusion nuclear reactions
No worries..
just add in the LCF enhancement factor f(E)
and state "electron screening enhances fusion rates by 10 orders of magnitude"
At least it works in a slideshow,,
the important thing is the results..not the theory
. did NASA actually see a ten orders of magnitude increase
in reaction rates over 'expected'?... that is unclear

Some serious engineering on an experimental setup.
LENR is not mentioned though, although I support your expectations.

The "Development and Testing of High Power Space Generators" may have been affected by COVID (as have other projects), but it has not been canceled, or retracted.
Thank you Larry for the quick response.

Perhaps this is where Forsley needs to go to get to the stars..
Per nano ad astra..
"Recent research in Japan via long and careful experimentation, has proven that a major
“missing controlled parameter” in the decades now of previous LENR research is the
requirement for nano sized discrete surface morphology. As already noted, that enables
localized energy concentration by orders of magnitude. Major organizations (including Google)
are now conducting research aimed at understanding and sorting out sensitivities and
optimization. The major issues going forward include development of a viable, proven theory to
allow engineering, scaling, and safety. Given that, which at this point appears to be a work in
progress, much with regard to power and energy could change, for
climate/transportation/HVAC, energy costs overall, and in-space for propulsion, habs, ISRU, on
body transportation.
