A quantitative evaluation- see please the claims in the Focardi Rossi paper- is foolproof I think. Heat from radioactive stuff at ths magnitudes is very dangerous, I think.
Next week we will celebrate the 21st anniversary of our field- and only the Patterson system in its day of glory was comparable to these claims- if I remember correctly. Is some other breakthrough of this type hidden somewhere?
