I have no strong opinions on any of these questions. I will be anxious to see independent confirmation of a positive answer to the first one if such becomes possible in the near term. I would be surprised if the answer to the second question were unequivocally negative; it is possible to think up scenarios in which the nuclear active environment rarely reaches the melting point of nickel, even with a low-grade reaction proceeding.
