Muon radiation is not immediately deadly. We all have muons passing through our bodies produced by cosmic rays. These muons contribute to 12% more or less of the total background radiation loading that exist in the background.
[image: Inline image 1] Muons hardly react with the elements in our bodies. But muon reaction rates increase greatly in heavy elements like lead. When the production of muons increases by a billion times, the background radiation loading that we are exposed to will increase accordingly. A 100 watt LENR reactor does not increase this background reaction loading very much because most of those muons pass right through the body. But if 10 gigawatts of LENR is produced within a limited urban area like Atlanta, The background radiation rate that exists in the greater Atlanta city limits will increase in proportion to the power generation rate in that city. Living in that LENR powered Atlanta is like living in outer space where exposure to muon radiation is most intense. Working near a single 100 watt LENR reactor will produce a similar background radiation loading that one would be exposed to in a cross country airline fight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation "The Earth and all living things on it are constantly bombarded by radiation from outer space. This radiation primarily consists of positively charged ions from protons to iron and larger nuclei derived sources outside our solar system. This radiation interacts with atoms in the atmosphere to create an air shower of secondary radiation, including X-rays, muons, protons, alpha particles, pions, electrons, and neutrons. The immediate dose from cosmic radiation is largely from muons, neutrons, and electrons, and this dose varies in different parts of the world based largely on the geomagnetic field and altitude. For example, the city of Denver in the United States (at 1650 meters elevation) receives a cosmic ray dose roughly twice that of a location at sea level. This radiation is much more intense in the upper troposphere, around 10 km altitude, and is thus of particular concern for airline crews and frequent passengers, who spend many hours per year in this environment. During their flights airline crews typically get an extra dose on the order of 2.2 mSv (220 mrem) per year."
