He says the shielding stops the rays. He is going to have to transport it as a radioactive device.

Radioactive: Emitting energy waves due to decaying atomic nuclei.

If it does not contain materials that spontaneously fission, then it is not a radioactive device. If it only emits high-energy photons when turned on, then it is no more a radioactive device than an x-ray machine is.

If it only emits high-energy photons when turned on, then it is no more a radioactive device than an x-ray machine is.

You can't sell x-ray machines without extensive testing and certification. They can, and have, killed people when they were out of specifications, or when their operators or software operated them incorrectly.

Why would Rossi's device be exempt from similar rules and restrictions?

But no one but Rossi knows how to turn it on or turn it off! No shipper in his right mind will accept it for shipment nor could it ever clear customs.

Are you saying it is not a nuclear device?
