corrected as follows: It came into my mind to question why Rossi put his Hot cat alumina core inside a stainless steel tube.
If you remember during the first third party test, Rossi enclosed his alumina Hot-cat core within a stainless steel tube. In the second third party test at Lugano, Rossi removed the alumina core from the stainless steel shell. That stainless steel shell probably served as a blast shield to protect the reactor and the people around it against a core blast as seen in the recent MFMP test. When a core blast often occurs in the Russian tests and also recently during the last MFMP test, the hydrogen core envelope is immediately released from the core because the brittle alumina shatters by the blast and the overheat reaction stops. However, if the rupturing core is enclosed in a metal shield, the metal tube will absorb the shock of the blast by deforming instead of shattering. The metal covering will not immediately release hydrogen to the surrounding air. This retention of hydrogen inside the metal shell may cause the LENR reaction once begun to continue, progress, and grow larger over time. I conjecture, if an alumina core is enclosed in a metal tube to keep the hydrogen confined, a major high temperature meltdown will occur instead of being stopped by a explosive release of hydrogen.
