Oh, only a small error you think?
Energy =~ 1/wavelength
You said Energy =~ wavelength

You are picking up on small things. Just exchange "wavelength" to "energy" in
the quoted part and all is right, I was only talking about photon energy,
anyway.

What are you talking about? You said that gamma rays had longest wavelength
then visibile light (“The gamma ray can have a small wavelength such that it
could almost fit in the range of visible light”, quoted). That’s absurd.
Yeah, you can say that a 75keV is gamma as you can say that a 2Mhz
Radiofrequncy is HIGH FREQUENCY, but truely it’s near the “medium-to-high”
frequency limit (actually is medium frequency).
If you say that a common visible light source it’s a gamma ray source, you
are crazy.

I just provided you with examples which are not the case. For example, the
isomer 180m1
Ta is very stable, but when it decays, it emits at an energy of 75KeV, which
is within the range of x-rays, that is, below 120KeV.

I think you need to read some physics books. Gamma rays have smaller
wavelength then X-Rays and visible light. And a re more powerful and hazards.

Gamma rays may have a subjective definition.You can say that Gamma Rays are
photons emitted by state transitions of the nucleus and X-Rays are photons that
comes from electrons. X-Ray machines emits what would be otherwise consider
gamma rays, around 140KeV. For example,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium-99m
The gamma ray can have a small wavelength such that it could almost fit in
the range of visible light, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_thorium#Thorium-229m
If you consider a gamma ray as photons originated by decays of excited
decays of the nucleus, you can have wave lengths near the visible spectrum,

I don't know. I have not seen his application or permit. You have a
good point. It might be prudent to set up some signs. I am not sure where you
would put them, or how far away people should stay. Bianchini set up detectors
and found nothing, so they did pay some attention to this issue.
Still, as far as anyone knows, cold fusion never generates dangerous
radiation.
In contradiction to this, Rossi says the heat is made from soft gamma
rays. Some 100 kW of gamma rays are dangerous.
So it is a little silly to apply the safety standards of fission or
plasma fusion to it. This is like saying that hydrogen airships can explode, so
we should take extreme precautions when working with helium balloons.
No it is like saying a helium Zeppelin is dangerous, because the inventor
says, it is filled with hydrogen ;-)
