I have found this as interesting too, because Rossi has repeatedly suggested that his system can tolerate air in contact with the core material:

Warm Regards, A.R. - Alan DeAngelis September 4th, 2011 at 1:33 PM<http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=510&cpage=6#comment-68481> Dear Ing. Rossi: I’m just curious. When organic chemists do catalytic hydrogenations (with palladium, nickel, et cetera) in a pressurized shaker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenation they first purge air out of the system by cycling back and forth between vacuum (with a vacuum pump) and hydrogen several times before they finally pressurize with hydrogen. Do you do this with the E-Cat or do you just blow the air out with some hydrogen and go straight to the pressurization? (Don’t feel obliged to answer this if it would reveal too much about the process.) All the best, Alan DeAngelis According to Piantelli (see WO 2010/058288 for example) deep degassing is a sine qua non condition of success/reproducibility because gas molecules adsorbed on the active clusters compete with hydrogen.
