Hello Peter, Since this tiny amount of thallium works out to only a few one-hundredths of a nanogram, one must suspect that this cannot be measured reliably (by mass) on any kind of a precision scale, so one must further suspect that you measured it by assuming that any radioactive emission was due to the thallium... ...but, that raises another problem. What if the species which you measured "in the second vessel, where you only would expect distillated water" was NOT the Thallium? That is, it was not the thallium which had migrated through the walls of the condenser, but instead was Tritium, which was the ash of the adjoining CF reaction? Tritium of course, easily is transported through most metals, such as your condenser. I can find no reference on the web to thallium crossing a metal boundary. Also the 80 KeV is characteristic of tritium as well as thallium, but tritium would have a broader spread (did you do spectrometry ?) Although it is somewhat of an affront to Occam, you could conceivably have witnessed both radioactive remediation (of the thallium) and at the same time the LENR cold-fusion (ala Claytor) of the tritium-ash variety, in this cell. But since the total radioactive reading on your meter of the combined two sources added up to nearly what you were expecting from just the thallium, you assumed the simplest underlying situation?
