The way that it was explained to me (by my son who understands these
things much more than I do) was that in a nuclear reaction that nucleus
suddenly has lots of excess energy to get rid of, and normally the only
option that its available that allows energy and momentum to be balanced
is to emit a photon.
If the reaction takes place in a 'controlled' way within a solid state
system then there may be other ways for the nucleus to loose the excess
energy without resorting to emitting a photon. There would still be
elemental transformation of course. Does the 'solid state' fuel
pellets provide such an environment? If BLP is nuclear at its heart
then the alternative energy path would have to be very effiient for so
much energy to be released as thermal energy (which is the implication
of what we are told) without there being any measureable radioactivity.

to radiation as a phenomenon.
According to the presentation at zhydrogen [1], when the electron
"spirals down" to a more redundant level, there is a broadband
emission of photons. Presumably at least some photons are not trapped
in this scenario. Assuming I haven't misunderstood an important
point, is that claim incompatible with what you're saying here?
