This is a non issue. Rossi has been known to make statements that are designed to confuse competitors and I suspect that the radiation was one of those. I am not aware of anyone measuring levels of radiation that are dangerous during nickel-hydrogen reactions.
It will be wise to take time to determine whether or not radiation will ever become important in this technology. Any reference to meltdown is referring to just failure of the materials.

X-rays and/or gamma?) is it possible that the casing of the reactor and the other components would not become radioactive? Is there any information as to what type of detector Celani used? If the spectators at the demo were unharmed yet radiation was detected, what does that tell us about the type and intensity of the radiation?

Clearly, the E-Cat does not, in this meaning, melt down. Oh Yes It Does. Quite remarkable considering there is only 283 W of input power. Anyone who has heated a stainless steel object of this size with that much power, such an electric frying pan, will know that you cannot possibly melt it with 283 W. You cannot even fry an egg. It does does not become incandescent. Assuming the power measurements are right to within an order of magnitude, there is no way this thing could be incandescent. That should give Mary Yugo nightmares, if she pauses to think about it, which she will not. Several cold fusion devices have melted, vaporized or exploded. I know of 6. Informed sources tell several others in China did that, but the Chinese do not wish to discuss the matter. - Jed
