"Smells" like Cold Fusion.

"...nuclear reactions induced by pressure waves" sounds more like
sonofusion (extrapolation of sonoluminescence):

If its thorium, it is presumably "sonofission". Don't know how they
multiple MeV gamma photons that get completely absorbed from
sonoluminescence...

Thorium-228 has a half-life of 1.9116 years = 60325508 seconds.

If the authors claim about this short lived isotope is true, ultrasonication
would reduce its half life to 6033 seconds.

The fact that a short lived isotope of thorium was claimed, may have been
missed by responders.

Given the short half life, activation energy for nuclear processes would be
smaller than expected.

Whoops, there's more, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-228

"Occasionally it decays by the unusual route of cluster decay, emitting a
nucleus of oxygen-20."

It is plausible that ultrasonication of Th-228 excites low activation
cluster decay.
