If you have studied the ash from the Ni/H reactors you must conclude that: Any elements having an even number of nucleons with spin zero will react in LENR.
LENR has a far greater energy density than U235 because cascades of LENR reaction products will fission from a very high atomic weight to a low weight. LENR reclaims the energy that a supernova used to produce the heavy reactive isotope and will reduce that isotope down to its original light atomic number configuration. Fusion is a secondary low probability reaction channel. On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 4:30 PM, Bob Higgins <[email protected]>wrote: > I don't understand why 62Ni would make a difference in the reaction.
