If you look at the full article there is a picture taken from Wikipedia where it is described thus:

“] In 2009, Mosier-Boss et al. reported what they called the first scientific report of highly energetic neutrons, using CR-39 plastic radiation detectors,[128] but the claims cannot be validated without a quantitative analysis of neutrons.[105][107]”

In the Mail article Rossi is said to have produced this particle emission and the picture is used to support that claim.

One, the picture has only to do with deuterium cold fusion experiments and nothing to do with Rossi, and

Two, There is no mention of any such radiation detectors being used in any of Rossi’s demos.

If Rossi detected radiation as described that would be something worth noting surely.

Poor journalism reflects badly on Rossi exactly how??

And Rossi did check for (and found) radiation...soft gamma rays...but not neutrons. Chemical processes don’t give off gamma.

***I think Rossi has mentioned some short term radiation in the past, hence the need for some Pb shielding. As far as the report of neutrons, this is the first time I have run across it so it is more likely to be a journalism mistake than some groundbreaking report.
