I would say that the detected radiation is NOT extraordinary. Dr. Storms published a paper on his measurements of radiation from LENR experiments. Early Focardi reports of the work he and Rossi were doing indicated gamma radiation.
The reports of micron-size-explosions are evidence of output as photons instead of phonons (heat) because if it were phonons, the explosions would be nano-scale instead of micro-scale. If the output were phonons, a nano-site NAE would be highest temperature at the nano-size reaction site - this would melt first and stop the reaction. If the output is photons (gamma), then the photons from a nano-site NAE would have to penetrate a certain distance away before statistically being absorbed and becoming heat - thus heating a larger area and while not having the nano-site (the NAE) the hottest spot on the nano-scale. This allows the "explosions" from a fast event at a nano-scale NAE to heat a micron size area (or bigger) before melting and stopping the reaction at the nano-scale. I suspect that the radiation is always present with LENR, but when the reaction is operating in a startup or with sub-optimum conditions, the gamma energy is higher, hence more penetrating, so as to make it out of the apparatus and become observed. When the LENR operating conditions are properly tuned, the gamma is more prolific, but at a lower gamma photon energy that doesn't penetrate the apparatus, but gets absorbed to become the excess heat that is observed.

[Abd's open letter] So, from other threads on this list it sounds like it's possible that the detected radiation might not be extraordinary? [m]
