I'm fairly sure that isn't the case. Most nuclear fusion reactions yield about 5 MeV / amu (ballpark). Nuclear fission yields about 1 MeV / amu. Of course if it turns out that Rossi isn't fusion at all, and that Pd-D is fusion, then you would probably be correct. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
