There is no gamma radiation from the p-e-p reaction (as distinct from the p-p reaction). The energy disappears with the neutrino. Therefore *effectively* this reaction produces no energy. However useful energy would be released from subsequent fusion reactions involving the D formed in the p-e-p reaction. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
