The real energy source is the deuterium. It is why this proces goes so rapidly.
But even childs in Poland in early 70-ies knew that, lead is of no usefulness against
G radiation.
Only graphite can acumulate it properly.
But maybe in Italy or America it is today another catched?
Through empty minds, maybe?

I believe you could be correct except for two points.
1: No one said that deuterium was used in the process.
2: I believe in America, Boron is used as the element to convert low speed neutrons into lower energy radiation and heat.

But it could be true that empty minds are used also, just not in America.

There is no detectable radiation when the E-Cat is running.

USD70 of fuel will power the E-Cat reactors for 12 months and produce 8,322 MWhs of heat at a plant load factor of 95%. Assuming a 40% heat to Ac kW conversion efficiency that is ~3,328,000 Ac kWhs of energy deliver per year for a fuel cost of USD70.

At 10,000 Ac kWhs per year for a average home, that is enough electricity to power around 330 homes. Fuel cost per home is then ~USD0.21 per year. If you divided the capital cost of say USD2 million across the 330 homes, the capital cost to each home would be ~USD6,000. Adding that to the cost of a new home is just pocket change.

Here are more information about the 1 MW E-Cat test.

It seems the customer's test engineer was a Nato Colonel, very experienced in thermal and steam systems, the E-Cat plant will be used to provide heat for camps in the field and this apparently was why self sustained operation with no power input was important to this customer.

Rossi has also stated the tested and accepted E-Cat has "left the building" and was taken away by the satisfied customer. He also has stated the next E-Cat is being built, the customer is US and will not operate in "Quite" mode.

This is very real. There is no scam. We are witnesses to history in the making, due to one burnt finger tip.

How much Nickle is consumed per MWh? And how much Copper is produced? This will only effect prices (by natural demand/supply if such existed in metals) when the quantities were really large.

Nickle is used for circulation coins I believe. Silver's price was long locked due to it being used in decent grades in coins. If the price would rise, people would bring coin money and get more paper money in return. With Nickle, unless thousands of tons are needed, I expect this to limit Nickle prices until national banks fase out such coins.

Interesting,   Nickel theft is now happening.

Spend 15 minutes watching the 3 lead off videos on this web site.

The people talking are scientists. They have measured nuclear radiation coming from their test of an earlier E-Cat reactor. Note the scientists who says he secretly tested the area and the not working E-Cat reactor for radiation BEFORE it was switched on. He found nothing. But once it was working background Gamma radiation increased about 50%. Other scientists have detected other nuclear radiation from working E-Cat reactors as well.

More and more info is coming to light. Like these guys measured 24 kW output from 1 E-Cat reactor. The 1 MW E-Cat has over a hundred reactors. That means the self sustaining demo only resulted in each reactor running at about 4 kWs output each. So is the potential output of the 1 MW reactor really more like 2.5 MWs?

What si does mean is that a domestic home would only need 1 of the E-Cat reactors to generate all the energy needed. Here is a video of the testing of 1 of the reactors used in the large 1 MW E-Cat:
