Jones, I believe that the term gamma ray is reserved for photons that originate from the nucleus. The energy of these rays is not the criteria.
One would suppose that the energy contained within the radiation emitted by the nucleus is determined by the energy steps between the stored quanta. At the moment we are assuming that the energy is stored as spin states that have a certain minimum amount of energy. How do we establish the energy between steps? If they are calculated by measuring the energy spectrum due to nuclear reactions then the exact nature of those reactions must be understood. Who knows whether or not the levels measured to date have been made under conditions associated with LENR reactions? There is discussion about how resonances coupled into the nuclei via the large magnetic fields might be able to focus the energy at their frequencies by allowing easy transport of energy. This method of transport has not been well established AFAIK. But some technique must exist to prevent the dangerous radiation from being emitted as is expected by the physics community and this seems to be the best candidate so far. I find the fact that the electromagnetic energy can be released after a time delay to be significant. Whatever determines this delay period might also find a way to distribute the energy into many lower energy units instead of a concentrated burst. I can visualize this as somewhat similar to the filtering of a wide band noise spectrum into smaller more coherent slots.

Well Robin, he did say the energy in his theory was shed as photons. There are only two possibilities for the source - electrons or nuclei. As far as I know, the nucleus sheds photons as gamma rays. AFAIK there is no apparent mechanism to shed photons from the nucleus at less energy than gamma ... but this is a weekend and I may not be thinking clearly. Tell me, is there any evidence in the literature of nuclei (not atoms but nuclei) shedding energy in quanta below gamma rays? Jones
