Introduction

We challenge predominant view that Low Energy Nuclear Transmutations (LENTs) are 
prohibited by standard Quantum Mechanics (QM). This view, supposedly based on 
standard nuclear theory, need not apply in condensed-matter environments. These 
considerations indicate that seemingly novel experimental evidence of rapid 
aneutronic bulk-process transmutation, at extraordinarily low energy levels, in 
a simple electrochemical reactor, can occur. This explains: (1) induced rapid 
decay of radioactive Thorium into stable nuclides, e.g. Cu; (2) resulting, 
anomalous distribution of Cu isotopes.

Description of Actual Work

We re-examine arguments of P.J.E. Peebles (1) cited as evidence that standard QM 
"forbids" Cold Fusion (CF). We note (2) over-simplifications in those and 
present an alternative, more sophisticated calculation [cf. Bass, (3)-(8)] 
demonstrating that conventional wisdom about impenetrability of the "Coulomb 
barrier" fails as a result of periodic-order-induced resonance.

We also examine empirical evidence (9)-(15). In three independent tests of a 
LENT electrolysis cell, using different I-V-T (current/voltage/time) protocols, 
the percentage of Radiation Reduction (RR) transmutation achieved A = [23%, 50%, 
83%] versus expended energy E = [0.6535, 32.5, 74.6] (Watt-hrs), obtained by 
numerical integration of recorded product I.V for processing time T, provides 
near-perfect straight-line correlation:

A = alf.E + Ao, (alf = 0.8105, Ao = 22.888, (0.65
