I noted this interview mentions beta decay but not gamma radiation. Beta decay is a lot more manageable from a personal-use standpoint, since a thin shield of lead or other dense material would be more than enough to keep any radiation escape to virtually nil. And that's consistent with what we've seen from the demonstration units.
So now I just want a safe, reliable way to transform heat into electricity (compared, say, to a steam turbine in everyone's basement) and I'm a happy camper.
(I sold a third of my utility stock holding over the weekend. Maybe this will end up being a boon to utilities in the short to mid-term, but my gut feeling is that ultimately, this will put power production into individual homes and businesses, rendering power utilities extinct.)

LENR means Low Energy Nuclear Reaction which is also known as ‘Cold Fusion’ even though the title says it isn’t.
Well Cool. Or should I say hot...
Tech-List Pingee reporting with an interesting NASA tie-in to Rossi’s e-cat research. Gives a summary explanation: it’s not cold fusion but low energy nuclear interactions (beta decay) producing heat. Yeah, I know, too good to be true, but gosh it is providing non-bunk reviews. Submitted for Ping List consideration. No offense taken if it misses the bar.
