The death toll in steel mills . . . Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining this. It would appear these heat releases associated with phase changes are very rapid, one time surge of heat. The heat after death reported by Fleischmann, Rossi and others lasted for a long time. The heat was steady for hours or days. I do not think the phase change heat release you describe can account for these events. - Jed
