JedRothwell Thanks
My question also inferences those very heavy looking rocks.🌎
Just like you, I'm not sure if Iwamura stimulated Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' invested interest in CMNS energy technologies and deepened their curiosity either.
On the other hand, I must consider that MHI is the largest defence contractor in Japan. Who knows what they are doing... Whatever it is that MHI is doing, I'm certain they are good at it.
Unlike David Kidwell.
One must read all of this bit of MHI Japan U.S. DoD CMNS/LENR history as it pertains to this thread... In its entirety. Rob Woudenberg I find this to be the second most interesting story in cold fusion history. Exceptional expose by Steven Krivit. I still can't figure it out. The contingent from Japan was not pleased.

Since 2008, Kidwell has criticized the heavy-element transmutation results reported by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in its long-standing low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research program.
On May 6, 2016, David Kidwell, a scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory, released his latest attack criticizing the work of Japanese LENR researchers. In an email to an invitation-only but public Google discussion group, Kidwell wrote, using his NRL e-mail account, “eventually, we will get to that the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries data is not real.
Two days earlier, on May 4, 2016, as reported by New Energy Times, a U.S. congressional committee took the unprecedented step of requesting from the Department of Defense a national security briefing on the implications of LENRs. - end quotes
