Measured: excess enthalpy, tritium, gamma/X-rays, neutrons, energetic particles (CR-39 tracks), transmutation products. 2021: NSWC Indian Head Division began NEW LENR research — continued Navy interest. The Navy has maintained continuous interest in anomalous nuclear effects for 35+ years, parallel to conventional fusion investments (Polywell, Pais patents).
