A question....
How does the above chemical explanation account for the many reports of high energy particles being released from the type of Pd-LiOH-D2O experimental design that you discuss above ? I mean, there are many reports of helium, tritons, neutrons being released from these "cold fusion" set-ups, not just excess heat. I agree, if all that was recorded was heat, then chemical reaction most likely explanation--but such is not the case.
See for example the 2009 publication by the US Navy Research Lab suggesting high energy neutrons being released from the Pd-LiOH-D2O type design--which you can read here:

So, I think your statement above "....Nuclear evidence claims have all been repeatedly, exhaustively disproven...." concerning cold fusion experiments perhaps disproven by the US Navy report. Your comments about this experiment would be appreciated.
