* Yes, I am quite aware that some researchers have salted their experiments with radioactive isotopes. I also know that Dennis Cravens sometimes use thorium oxide for that purpose (he showed me his jar). That doesn't mean that Piantelli or Rossi did. Where did you get the idea that Rossi ever used a radioisotope for anything other than startup? I never said or implied that. It would have been easily seen. What I said was that Celani detected a burst of radioactivity on startup at the Bologna demo, behind closed doors, and he (or someone else who was present) suggested that the burst could have been from a radioisotope used for startup purposes – which was later removed. Rossi would never answer to what caused the burst – when asked. Obviously it was only used at startup. Jones
