for defkalion réactors, knowing their testing measures, it is clear that no noticeable gamma is produced, and that (hopefuly) classic gamma are not the main production of energy.
it is not far from the same with rossi's reactor, when you see the relatively thin lead protection... from what I've read here, the gamma seems to appear when the reactor is not in normal mode... starting or stopping... maybe is it that the reaction change in unstable situation, and stops quickly, or evolve to heating only mode... 2012/1/25 OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson <[email protected]> > 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.
