Is that what Rossi declared in his application for a permit? Did you read
the application or the permit? If you did not, you do not know what he told
the government, or what they told him.

We have only his word for this. I have never caught him lying about
technical engineering claims. I cannot evaluate his statements about gamma
radiation and theory, but experts tell me they make no sense. His statements
about his business are full of holes. So I am not confident that he really
does have a permit. I doubt there is gamma radiation, but you never know.

If he does have a permit, I suppose it would be the kind he described, for
an experimental device. It sounds plausible.

I just provided you with examples which are not the case. For example,
the isomer 180m1
Ta is very stable, but when it decays, it emits at an energy of 75KeV, which
is within the range of x-rays, that is, below 120KeV.

   The gamma ray can have a small wavelength such that it could almost fit
 in the range of visible light

 I think you need to read some physics books. Gamma rays have smaller
 wavelength then X-Rays and visible light. And a re more powerful and
 hazards.

 Gamma rays may have a subjective definition.You can say that Gamma Rays are
 photons emitted by state transitions of the nucleus and X-Rays are photons
 that comes from electrons. X-Ray machines emits what would be otherwise
 consider gamma rays, around 140KeV. For example,

 The gamma ray can have a small wavelength such that it could almost fit in
 the range of visible light, such as
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_thorium#Thorium-229m


 If you consider a gamma ray as photons originated by decays of excited
 decays of the nucleus, you can have wave lengths near the visible spectrum,

 I don't know. I have not seen his application or permit. You have a good
 point. It might be prudent to set up some signs. I am not sure where you
 would put them, or how far away people should stay. Bianchini set up
 detectors and found nothing, so they did pay some attention to this issue.

 Still, as far as anyone knows, cold fusion never generates dangerous
 radiation.

 In contradiction to this, Rossi says the heat is made from soft gamma
 rays. Some 100 kW of gamma rays are dangerous.


  So it is a little silly to apply the safety standards of fission or
 plasma fusion to it. This is like saying that hydrogen airships can explode,
 so we should take extreme precautions when working with helium balloons.

 No it is like saying a helium Zeppelin is dangerous, because the inventor

In the Piantelli-Focardi experiments they had either gamma radiation or 
thermal energy. They did never observe both together. This is what I 
have read in a paper, written by Focardi himself.
They can however not have had some ten watts of gamma radiation, because 
they are still alive. ;-)


Also Rossi said, the lead shield was calculated by Focardi. Also he 
said, they have a thicker shield in the fat cat and he explained the 
weight increase by this.


The truth behind might be this: Focardi /thinks/ there could be 
dangerous gamma radiation under circumstances, but they never measured 
this and dont know.


If so, then he has lied all time to us.
If not so, then he has lied to the authorities to get the permissions.

Or they changed their minds and no longer believe there is gamma radiation.

Or they have confirmed (somehow) that the gamma radiation is never
dangerous.

Or the Italian authorities decided for some reason not to worry about gamma
rays, and did not order them to put up signs.

There are many possibilities here. Unless you have some inside information
