And we won't know until it's properly tested. In his blog, Rossi reported a history of dozens of explosions. How and why those happened, he didn't say. He also says it's intrinsically safe but he doesn't say why. And if the reactor heats a room by making steam, steam itself is dangerous for ordinary end users and consumers. Central steam heat and radiators in rooms are not usually assembled and serviced by the end user. It would be understatement to say that there are lots of unanswered questions.
