Jones-- The laser atomic activation tests did not show much Zn of any kind. The report indicates there was no Zn, Zn-64 or some other isotope of Zn. If AP is now correct he should also explain why the laser activations testing did not show an Zn to speak of.
What he seems to say is that the Zn-64 was created after the laser activation tests were complete. If that were the case, there was a good deal of Zn-64 created during the reaction, more than seems likely given the extent of testing.

That’s because the zinc was labeled as nickel. Both the charts on page 14 and 15 show the enrichment of 64Ni at 4.4% -- but now Parkhomov explains that what they thought was 64Ni was instead 64Zn.
