The 'fact' that the gamma only appears as a burst during startup is one
peice of 'evidence' that I think suggests that the mechanism relies on a
coherent state within the nickel, probably an optical vibrational mode
within the lattice.
Once it is at a sufficient amplitide, it's existence might stimulate the
excited nuclei to emit their excess energy after an LENR event has
occurred into the mode using the principle of a PHASER, rather than emit
it as gamma radiation (Like a LASER, but with phonons not photons. Both
are bosons). While the modes are establishing themselves the excess
energy still has a significant probability of being emitted as gamma
radiation.
Once established, the excess energy has a route to thermal energy within
the nickel, not the lead, which does not involve gamma.

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...
