Unless we're talking about very strong x-rays, I don't think we can conclude much if anything their presence or absence, and particularly in connection with excess heat, without putting some kind of x-ray sensitive film in the system (like they did at BARC). Apart from the small side detail concerning x-rays, I am not disputing your analysis of the likelihood of accelerating electrons to the point of triggering a new kind of electron capture. Eric
