Do you mean LENR or LEHR (Low Energy Hydrogen Reactions)?
LEHR
We could even go for LEPR
low energy proton reactions...neutron-free
just ask how Pfizer markets gene therapy
and then there is Lattice assisted Proton Reactions LAPR
why is MRI not called NMR?
one source says
"The first concept of Magnetic Resonance Imaging was called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, or NMR. The name was changed because of the negative connotation of the word “nuclear”.

Both. Piggie back of each other, one supports the other. Beta decay still is nuclear but it would be low energy proton/hydrogen/light mediated, no nuclear fragments ☺️🙏. Stabilisation.

No NUCLEAR.. but plenty of neutrons
-
And Lattice Assisted Muon Energy...LAME of course.
Not to disparage Holmlid's work, but I just can't resist a stupid acronymic pun.

It should probably be in the Playground area.
And Lo! it was gone there! AlanS

Several new papers that I don't recall seeing here before:
-
So it's Green-Energy Rocket Propulsion (GERP) from NASA? So why not start with a GERP-powered TESLA motor car before moving on to its POTENTIAL as a space-ship propulsion system? Because it's NASA.

Lattice Confinement Fusion and Fusion-Fast-Fission Energy Source Development
LCF is not confined to NASA according to Larry Forsley
Forsley...et al
" The US Government, European Union and multiple industries in the US and in Japan are exploring various forms of Lattice Confinement Fusion. "
... various forms????
perhaps LCF is not confined to LCF?
of course a white paper does not need so many references...

That’s their way to tell that LCF = LENR without actually telling it.

I think he's using LCF as a catch all term for LENR. So he's referring to Clean Planet, Brillouin etc.

An attempt to understand LCF better is presented in posts# 304-312 on the thread about Randy Davis patents/Marathon, and New Energy Power Systems.

THANKS orsova for finding this White Paper. It confirms the KRUSTY program is being applied for conversion of LENR nuclear thermal. The paper infers successful milestones met in the GEC NASA Space Act Agreements. I look forward to publication of this found in references.

- Research Activities - The fundamental research began thirty years ago with the US Navy NOSC/SPAWAR-PACIFIC and resulted in two patents followed by several NCRADAs, and two NASA Space Act Agreements. Related research was conducted under the NASA Science Mission Directorate Advanced Energy Conversion Project and has continued under the Planetary Exploratory Science Technology Office, Lattice Confinement Fusion Project. This research continued with the Naval Surface Warfare Centers, one under NASA subcontract and the other most recently funded by DARPA.
- The development of LCF as a technology is significant to both terrestrial power and heat production for DoD as well as NASA and NRO Programs.
- LCF reduces the safety, security and launch costs for future NASA missions employing fission reactors while using the power conversion and heat dissipation fast-fission infrastructure [GIBS20]. KRUSTY

Recommended review
Signficant to LCF and LEC diodes, perhaps.

Strained Layer Ferromagnetism in Transition Metals and its Impact Upon Low Energy Nuclear Reactions

Our results suggest that most of the transition metals can exhibit ferromagnetic ordering if the lattice is placed in sufficiently high tensile stress. These results are applied to the study of some layered structures employed by a number of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) research…

Have Pons and Fleischmann been vindicated?

NASA confirms neutron emission from Pd-D co deposition experiments, bringing LENR closer to mainstream acceptance.
-
Have Pons and Fleischmann been vindicated?
Seems if the test tube fractured from a cold breeze it would act the same as obsidian slowly grounding from the power source until it hit the porch then the reaction could continue. without the power source. using the cracks in the glass to hold the charge or recharge
Could be interesting as long as there is a valve so it will not just flash over.

Have Pons and Fleischmann been vindicated?
Yes ...they were doing LCF the whole time
like other researchers they just didn't know it.

A Preliminary Proposal for a Hybrid Lattice Confinement Fusion-Fission Reactor for Mobile Nuclear Power Plants
Luciano Ondir Freire Delvonei Alves de Andrade
Received 21 May 2021, Accepted 27 Oct 2021, Published online: 01 Mar 2022
Scientists detected 2.45-MeV neutrons and in smaller yields 4- and 5-MeV neutrons in deuterated metals under a 2.9-MeV electron beam. Such discovery could allow the use of deuterated metals at temperatures below their melting point to provide nuclear fusion reactions. Such reactions could provide fast neutrons and energy in the form of heat. This work analyzed the results of some experiments to infer the neutron multiplication rate in such environments. It also considered the possible roles that such phenomena could play in a commercial nuclear power reactor under economic and compactness constraints. It seems the best way to promote nuclear fusion is the irradiation of deuterated metals by fast neutrons. This work presents the concept of a hybrid fission-fusion reactor using fissile or fertile fuel to generate heat and fast neutrons along deuterated metals providing excess neutrons (reactivity boost). Additionally, deuterated metals also may have a role in neutron moderation requiring less volume than other moderators (water or graphite). Such a reactor, given its reactivity boost, may burn radioactive residuals (transmutation) at affordable costs while generating power. Alternatively, this hybrid fission-fusion concept could also breed fissile fuel from fertile isotopes using natural uranium as seed.

Getting slow my friend!
orsova beat you to the punch. See post 407.Adding to what others said...this is very good news. Looks like NASA is making solid progress, and have already demonstrated a few of the processes needed to incorporate their old GEC technology into a space power generation system.
