[ The Navy setup (Polarized D+/Pd-D2O System: Hot Spots and “Mini-Explosions”) uses palladium deposited on a nickel mesh. I wonder if the source of the reaction has more to do with the nickel than the palladium? ]

They could have been overlooking the nickel in the reactors because of the emphasis on the exotic metals like Platinum and palladium and bolongnium. Smart people a lot of time overlook the blindingly obvious and I say this as a smart person.

Now I know why I am being kept around.

If the e-cat is unambiguously validated, there will be a lot of research projects started to see if the effect is unique to nickel, or if the same effect can be achieved with cheaper metals like aluminum.
