Yes, thanks for setting the record straight on that point. I tend to get a bit carried away in having to continually make the point that the excess energy in this reaction is not nuclear to an overwhelming degree.
Small amounts of radiation are seen, often on startup. The radiation is seldom more than a factor of 100,000 in net energy compared to the thermal energy seen (if averaged over a few hours, and less if averaged over a few days). Otherwise shielding would be needed. There is no residual radiation after shutdown in the early stages. There could be, and probably is (depending on the materials used) an accumulation of residual radiation over time simply due to QM probability of f/H interaction ... and after many months of operation this would need to be dealt with; but Celani is not there yet..

They did observe "X rays (and/or gamma emission)" under certain conditions however (see section IV.23, page 4). Cheers S.A.
