Interesting... there is little doubt that the normal H2+O2 reaction was somehow augmented. As for the ignition source itself, even a few 27.2 eV EUV photons or higher from hydrino formation should be enough to trigger the normal H2+O2 reaction with no actual spark, and from then on, there could have been a steam-roller effect. And as ozone is much more soluble than O2 in H2O, depending on pH, that factor could conceivably have contributed to the intensity of a reaction where there was little headspace for O2 gas. Does anyone know the pH and temp near the time of the accident? I just wish he had been running a G-M data-logging monitor. BTW, even if that was not the case, it wouldn't hurt for him to analyze the debris for residual radioactivity. There could be a surprise there. Jones
