If it were gammas from ordinary reactions, it would be unmistakeable, as Villa said. Even though nuclear radiation can be detected and *identified* at ridiculously low levels, whatever is producing heat in cold fusion reactions somehow always manages to hide itself, so that no one really knows what the reactions are. Even in Piantelli's work, where he claims to observe radiation, he can't nail down the reactions. It reminds me of how they had to contrive more and more peculiar properties for the ether to explain why it could never be detected (or why its rest frame could not be determined). In the end, of course, they found they could explain the observations much more simply without ether at all. It's pretty likely there are no nuclear reactions in Rossi's or DGT's or anyone's version of the ecat.
