My guess is that temperature spike was caused by the thermocouple malfunctioning at the moment of the explosion. The spike showed up on the screen after the explosion I think. If this were the Rossi effect I would expect to see the temperature gradually rise above the calibration point, rather than suddenly spiking like that. Maybe not though. Rossi has observed runaway heat excursions, that reportedly frightened him. - Jed
