"ECAT 1 MW Plant is made up of smaller modules where the actual reactor is the size of 20 cm x 20 cm x 1 cm. These small reactors are coupled in modules of 3 pieces each, then these modules in turn are built into a 20‘ container with a series of 52 pieces. Power density in the small reactor is as high as 100 kW / L"

Mats Lewan was correct when he stated the reactor assembly is 20 x 20 x 1 cm and is divided in 3 sections for the 3 reactor cores. He went on to say said it was embedded in a slab of lead 5 cm thick. That means there would be 2 cm of lead above and below the reactor, which is what Rossi said the lead thickness was in the earlier Door Knob style reactor. If the same thickness of lead is around the sides, then the lead slab is min 24 x 24 x 5 cm in size or 2,480 cm^3 of lead which would weigh 28.8 kg. If the lead extends to cover the 30 x 30 cm area of the heat exchanger fins, which seems logical from a heat exchanger functionality point of view, the volume would be 4,100 cm^3 with a weight of 46.6 kg or about 50% of the 98 kg measured weight of the E-Cat module before the 6 Oct 2011 test.
