> How much does this reactor cost?

Household version (released in 4 months, since 2010) is supposed to cost ~2k€. 1MW version purchased by "an unknown customer" (speculated to be acutally DARPA", supposedly costed 1MM$.

When making a purchase you sign an NDA. So, no.

I could mention something about feeding the trolls here...
Maybe, those that skim the article, but definitely not trolling. I just don't get excitement/anger around ECat.

NDA however explains why there is no test.

You misunderstand. Rossi is the troll. Buying the device encourages him.
