Yes. I know. Assuming he is right about that, then what you said previously makes no sense. You said: "Rossi would have no way to predict that his technology is radiation free." Now you say he *does* know! He is sure it can produce radiation. Which is it? I do not understand what point you are trying to make here. You wrote: "If any radiation is seen coming out of the X-Cat, that would put Rossi in a very difficult spot with NRC and FDA regulation and licensing . . ." Yes. And if there has been any significant radiation, he will know that! He must have a detector. I do not understand how he could be in doubt, not knowing one way or the other. > Your the person who said that Rossi's reactor needed to be tested for > years to see if it produced radiation. > Yes, and now it has been tested for a year. That should be long enough to establish a pretty good first approximation answer. If there is radiation obviously it will need many more years to establish the exact nature of the radiation, to develop a theory, and to have the theory checked and accepted by the majority of physicists so that we can be sure the radiation is controlled or fully prevented in a commercial device. Obviously he cannot sell the thing commercially if it produces more radiation than, say, a smoke detector. The public will not allow that, nor should it. My point is that he knows the answer by now. It is not a surprise for him. It cannot be that he does not know the outcome of the test. > The FDA has product rules for radiation production produced over a time > period.
