Radiation seems to show up when the power is low... the pumping is below the threshold for the LENR reaction to fully establish itself. There is a sweet spot in the power applied that jeff might have hit where the LENR reaction is just about there but not quite there, MFMP sees this in their gamma burst recently during reaction initialization.
