What devices?
Daniel, isn't that jumping to conclusions? The results reported in
that poster session, if that's what it was, are for a particular
experimental approach. Neutrons are *not* found in normal FPHE cold
fusion work, and probably not with nickel, either (though I'm sure
less work has been done).
(This was PdD, I think, but it's all vague, I did not find an
original report with "62M neutrons." Rather some large-text, red
letter claims in the slide show are being taken as if they were
complete experimental reports.)
That analysis of "high limit level" was way pessimistic, as well.
Radiation damage from fast neutrons would accumulate. Bursts would be
effectively averaged over time. I really don't have any clear idea,
at this time, if the levels of neutrons reported would be dangerous
or not. What I'm clear about is that the analysis presented here was
not at all careful.
