Wait a minute, is everyone suggesting that all the ash was NI62.  Where is
that coming from?

Only 10% of the ash was even sent as a sample for testing and then I think
only certain particles of the ash were tested for isotopic composition.

Other than to say that some of the nickel was in a different isotopic
concentration from the fuel (and natural isotopic concentration) I don't
think the report is suggesting anything else.
