Neutrons are hard to shield and when absorbed can produce radioactive materials. Could this be a potentially killer blow to otherwise safe LENR?
Fission reactors typically create up to 10^13 neutrons per cm² per second, and this experiment was only making about 200000 per s, over (I assume) the full 4Pi sphere but was also probably only a few watts of power. If this is a standard feature of LENR and is scaled up to 10's or 100's of kW for transport applications maybe we are looking at more like 10^10 per s will it be ultimately be dangerous? The oil industry will be looking for exactly this sort of flaw to keep themselves in business. Why haven't other researchers seen Neutrons, were they not looking or are they at too low an energy or flux to be easily detected?
