I would be hesitant to ascribe a transient radiation detection as necessarily due to LENR. When the reactor exploded, there could have been fracto-fusion which is known to produce a pulse of neutrons. Also, when the tube exploded, it shattered the silicon carbide heater that they were using, no doubt momentarily creating an electrical plasma as the AC source arc'ed over the initial fracture. Such an electromagnetic anomaly could have induced an error in the reading. There are lots of other possibilities, and LENR is just one of them.
