Correction in the Nyteknik paper today:
UPDATED (Dec 1): Defkalion has clarified that it was the University
of Padua,
where an anaylis of used Nickel powder actually was performed,
commissioned by
Rossi./End update
So it gets sense, the additive catalyst is in the spent Ni fuel.
Not radioactive spectra measured
And Prof. Piantelli is not involved in any way.

I realize this paper is cited above because it references Padua
university and its analysis.
As discussed at length here in the past, the theory expressed in the
paper by Focardi and Rossi is invalidated by the fact that (1)
positrons did not show up in the E-cat test when looked for using
coincidence counting, (2) extremely radioactive products necessarily
result, and these were not found in the examined fuel, and (3) given
the energies of the gammas expected, on the order of MeV, the 2 cm
of lead shielding used in all but the 1 MW test was inadequate to
shield the gamma flux necessarily expected from a kW heat source
involving the stated reactions.
I only make note of this for the benefit of anyone who missed those
discussions.
