Explaining Rossi.
Rossi said: “We think that all the Ni participates to the reactions, even if
some isotopes should be more efficient.” “Only Ni 62 and Ni64 react.”
Rossi enriches his nickel in Ni62 and Ni64. Why? Through experimentation,
Rossi found these isotopes performed best. But what is

NiO is a dielectric. When hydrogen is introduced at reactor startup, pure
nickel with many atomic holes is produced on the surface through the action
of hydrogen erosion. However, this base of the powder closest to the wall is
still NiO, a dielectric.

You are barking up the wrong tree. From the last test of the 2.5 kw reactor
witnessed by the Swedes:
*Startup**. Prior to startup, the hydrogen bottle with a nominal pressure of
160 bars was connected for a short moment to the device to pressurize the
fuel container to about 25 bars.
It's more likely the nitrogen is a problem. After all, the atmosphere
is 70% nitrogen.
