1)Endothermic fusion reactions past 62Ni (I know this is laughed at by some, but I have found literally dozen's of credible references pointing this out and I have found none that counter to this view).
Other LENR claims mostly use reasonable fusion fuels such as D-D reactions. The nickel may have some role, but it is not as a fuel.
2) Some apparently secret way of isotopically purifying Nickel62.
3) Some secret catalyst (not the 62Ni)
3) Gamma radiation that is present only at times, and perhaps now is ignored.
4) Claims (Rossi's or others?) that neutrons might be involved, which would have to be magically supplied.
5) Incredible claims of heat production that is based on incredibly stupid and unreliably controlled steam production and quantifying methods.

Dan do not search on Ni and H, I have not calculated from myself but if mass of product is lower than sum of masses of reactants that would be exo and not endo. Certainly, if that occurs.
But you are absolutely right on all others.
As we have seen the show like David Kopperfield or someone else.
No enrichment. For that millions dollars, large and certified facilities, etc. are required.
No excess energy but energy comparable with electric input + may be some chemical reaction.
What is one MW? This is only burning of about 428 kg of hydrocarbons in 5 hours.
To me laziness to search heat ability of nickel hydride, but I think that it has comparable value with hydrocarbons. Why the mass of recent “test” was higher then before? I guess because of air input with burning off nickel hydride, water as steam escaped reactor and nickel oxide remained there.
Hydrogen absorption ability by nickel is a function of temperature and pressure. As a rule that is not low. I provided earlier the link of energy storage on base nickel hydride proposed to use as power supply for robotic weapons.
I see people here are very credulous.
