That's simply not true. How much radiation is produced depends entirely on which reaction they are using. Some release bad radiation, others do not. Obligatory

- ars 15y agoExcept all those have side reactions, and are not truly aneutronic. Plus the fuel in every cold fusion cell I've ever heard of has been deuterium or tritium and those are not aneutronic.
