Hi,

If the assumption is that Ni64 is the only isotope that is reacting, then
clearly the reaction itself is already selective of that isotope. So why bother
enriching at all? Just use native Ni, and let the reaction

Rossi himself stated that the fuel is enriched, and that the energy
cost for enriching
it for a 1 MW set of reactor is (only!) 200 W.h.
By analogy with classical Uranium nuclear reactors, I can only assume
that the reactive

*IMO* Rossi just said that enrichment took place to throw others off the trail,
and because he had only just discovered that reactions with isotopes other than
Ni62 Ni64 produce gammas which can't be easily

It seems you are conflating two processes when only one will suffice. And one
of them is absurd from the start.
Why pump the liquid at all? Why use a magnetic field with pumping, when a
simpler route exists? Calutrons were a gigantic waste of money in the Manhattan
project and were only used

Hello everyone,
My name is Berke and I'm not an electrochemist. Nor a physicist for
that matter. (Just a comp. sci.
guy.) That being said, I'd like to discuss this issue nonetheless. I
find this subject extremely interesting.
Also, congratulations for this well-kept and informative list.
I don't think that as a practical matter electroplating can work to coat
the particles of a micro powder but vapor disposition will work.
Furthermore, the powder can be made of bulk material, only the nanometer
thick secret surface treatment needs to be heavy nickel (Ni62-64). This is
not that
The ion diffusion speed in an electrolyte is only some centimeters per
minute at best, while the speed in a Calutron is probably some 100 to
some 1000 kilometres per second.
Therefore the mass inertia of the nucleus at this low speed has no
effect. The electrolyte vessel must be some 1000 km
