a) re radiation- DGT has published data )ICCF-17) they obtain some gamma, of 30-150 keV

Sterling's interview is, IMHO, excellent, adequate questions and a good logical structure The answers of Alex show clearly what is the strategy of DGT, and it iis a very reasonable stratefy, I think. As regarding Yiannis he has told many times that he is a newcomer in the field, that he has learned from the LENR literature including what to NOT do It is possible he is not a guru in some scientific fields (?), however please do not forget that he is working for LENR+ enhanced excess energy not Pd D LENR. And he is very skilled in physics of interest for this problem, engineering, technology, materials science, understands complexity, non-linearity, multi-sequential phenomena.etc. He (DGT) is ready to collaborate with the best, open minded scientists of our community. DGT builds a technology, however they are very interested in a good, meta-theory of the field.
