That's the rest mass of the electron... So, any idea?

Her source says:
"It is known that the type of asserted reaction, namely Ni -Cu
transition, must release gamma photons in the 511 Kev range but this
was never actually measured."
0.511 MeV . . . now where have I seen that before? ;-)

This is baloney. One of the early tests involved use a coincidence
counter, a pair of gamma counters with coincidence circuitry, which
picks up the gamma pairs from positron annihilations. None were
observed above background. It was used up close to the reactor.
Here is a photo in which the pair of opposed coincidence counters can
be seen:

regarding a February 2011 test. Part of the second counter can be
seen protruding below the surface on which the E-cat rests.
Celani has observed some single (not positron annihilation) counts :
"I brought my own gamma detector, a battery-operated 1.25″ NaI(Tl)
with an energy range=25keV-2000keV. I measured some increase of
counts near the reactor (about 50-100%) during operation, in an
erratic (unstable) way, with respect to background." See:
