At the level you are working at, heat IS the proof. You don't need to
measure the isotopic ratios of copper, only the radiation level outside the
reactor. Many inventions served for decades without a theoretical
understanding. The steam engine ran for a century without one.
Don't be so defensive, I'm skeptical but not trying to dissuade you from
trying. When you circle the wagons you keep EVERYONE out.
