As I read it, this is not fusion, as it was understood to happen. So not
much use looking for the products expected from conventional fusion. May
have seem transmutations but no gammas. So why stress out over missing
gammas? The old understand is not happening here. I'm just an engineer
but maybe for the scientific types here it is time to think outside the
square and to create theory that fits what we are seeing happening
instead of saying it can't be real as it does not fit our current theory
of what should be happening.

One problem with this statement by Rossi that 18 kg hydrogen and 10 kg
nickel is required for a 180 day charge for 1 MW, is that it is
inconsistent with the gammas observed (i.e. not observed.) See:

The non-transmuted Ni could of course be recycled in a fully developed
E-cat economy, and the hydrogen cost is inconsequential because it can
be made from water using E-cat generated electrical power. The main
problem is the inconsistency between statements and observations. The
1 MW (or less) test produced no gammas. This would be impossible,
given Rossi's statements with regards to the reactions involved, even
if he used 5 cm lead shielding.
Other questions arise as to the radiation hazard, or lack thereof:

Dear Mr. Rossi,
I was interested in your comments regarding intentionally causing
explosions of the device during safety testing. I had previously
understood that short half lived radioactive isotopes of Copper and
Nickel were rapidly decaying within the device and that this
radioactivity was shielded. But, during an explosive event, the
radioactive isotopes would be exposed to the environment without
shielding before they would have a chance to decay.
1) Are there short lived radioactive isotopes as in your patent and
paper published here?
2) Do those radioactive isotopes escape during an explosion?
3) Are you taking proper precautions yourself against such dangers?
A concerned fan,
Charlie Zimmerman

Dear Charlie Zimmerman:
I confirm that no radiations above the background in relevant measure
have been found in the controlled explosive tests. I cannot enter in
particulars, because I cannot give information regarding what happens
in the reactors.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
