Both could happen. 1) would affect both reactors. 2) only the loaded reactor. Both could be carefully accounted for during or after the experiment in order to allow proper conclusions (excess heat or not). Both events, if present, deserve publication in a scientific journal (after proper literature examination for related work)., > > Here is a third:- > > In an environment where ionizing radiation with an energy in excess of > about 10 > eV is present, additional atoms in the metal can become ionized providing > excess > free electrons. This will increase the conductivity of the metal. That's new physics. It would be very interesting to see something like that. But a bit hard to prove it is exactly that.

I would hope that, if present, this effect does not affect the resistance much, so that we have a clean proof of excess heat.
