Nick Herbert debunks the Italian claim of cold fusion - where are the gamma rays?

From the Wikipedia entry on the Curie as a unit of radiation

"A radiotherapy machine may have 1000 Curies of a radioisotope such as Cesium 137
or Cobalt 60. This quantity of nuclear material can produce severe health effects within a few minutes
of exposure."

ONE THOUSAND CURIES is considered a seriously dangerous radiation source. Yet the calculated radiation strength of the Focardi-Rossi reactor (running at 12000 watts) is in the range of ONE MILLION CURIES. To their credit the researchers at Bologna placed a gamma ray detector along side the reactor but it detected
essentially nothing during the course of the experiment.

In conclusion, I wish the Italian experimenters every success and hope that their invention will revolutionize the world by producing  a cheap, efficient and clean source of energy for mankind. However the total lack of gamma rays from what is supposed to be a nuclear reaction is highly suspicious. If I were an  investor I would be extremely cautious about putting money into this scheme until F & R manage to produce a plausible mechanism for the operation of their device.'
