In some situations, the energy produced by LENR is manifest only as x-rays and gamma rays because this radiation is not thermalized.
Heat Energy is input into the LENR reaction and does not come out. In this way, heat is transformed into x-rays and gamma rays. Heat will appear to be reduced when LENR only produces high energy photons.
