Somewhere in a recent collection of Vort posts was a thread or two
touching on speculation (evidence?) that the source of the massive
amount of exothermic heat generated from Rossi's eCats is actually due
to gamma radiation being emitted from the reactor core. It is the
generated gamma radiation (which itself is not necessary "hot" in the
thermal sense) that subsequently bombards the surrounding lead
shielding, thus HEATING up the lead.
That came from Rossi's recent radio interview apparently. I only
listened to the interview once and didn't pick up on that but Aussie Guy
mentioned it in his summarized list of key points from that interview
which he posted here. I questioned it at the time as it struck me by
surprise as I expected all the heat to come solely from the actual
reaction.
