I bet that the cause of the meltdown in the first test was the stainless steel cover that reduced heat dissipation by convection. In the most resent test, IH decided to run the test without the stainless steel shell cover to increase heat dissipation by convection. On Sat, Oct 25, 2014 at 6:29

Stefano Landi: 1) in your conference in Italy you said about a procedure of Ni isotop enrichment. Is this in agreement what the results of the Itp report? The amount of Ni isotopes before the run do not seem enriched as compared to the natural Ni isotopes composition Rossi: 1- At those

So maybe the hotcat wasn't running OUT of fuel at 32 days : it had completed the Ni isotope conversion (to a greater degree than Rossi expected), and was then running at peak efficiency? Remember the melted hotcat in the first Levi report? I wonder if they lost control because it also
