No one knows, because the only guy with the data (Rossi) is so secretive. And all of us can understand why. The best available evidence suggests that there is a danger of radioactive release. But that will be stepped over like the local republican Roman children who complained when Julius Caesar

This is a non issue. Rossi has been known to make statements that are designed to confuse competitors and I suspect that the radiation was one of those. I am not aware of anyone measuring levels of radiation that are dangerous during nickel-hydrogen reactions. It will be wise to take time

Rossi could have stumbled on a simple way like cryogenic distillation - who knows? More likely, he gets it from ENEA Frascati - using Focardi's connections. From: James Bowery Isotopes of Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen can be purified by chilling these gases or compounds nearly to

Not necessarily during runaway mode, but startup mode. I predict that as COP increases, this effect will increase. It is a double-edged sword. On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 5:07 PM, Mark Gibbs mgi...@gibbs.com wrote: So, in run away mode the reactor can do/always does emit radiation (of what

I agree Jed. They did this the right way and it will be difficult for anyone to prove otherwise. You mention the cooling time shape not being that associated with normal processes which agrees with the model that I constructed earlier. In an ideal world with a very high COP the cooling

When the Rossi reactor was first developed, radiation was detected when the reactor was cold. This happened at startup and shutdown. Rossi fixed the problem by heating the reactor at startup above the radiation temperature. He installed a secondary pre-heater if you remember. He keeps the
