More BS

And I quote from the abstract of their 2001 paper:

Emission of gamma radiation from the sample was increased by 1–2% above the quiescent value of spontaneous emission.

Compare that with this from the New Scientist article:

The AFRL says the quantum nucleonic reactor is considered safer than a fission one because the reaction is very tightly controlled. "It's radioactive, but as soon as you take away the X-ray power source its gamma ray production is reduced dramatically, so it's not as dangerous [as when it's active]," says Hamilton.

That 1-2% makes all the dif, eh fishey?
