Eric--

If I am not wrong, the laser activation indicates Zn  is 0.004 mass % vs the 
suggested 4%—more than an order of magnitude LOW!—more like 3 orders Low!   I 
checked the table of mass % and it adds to 100 percent.

  I do not think there was any report of very much Zn in the fuel.  If there 
was Zn-64 in the samples tested it was not apparent from the report.  In fact 
as I noted yesterday, Zn was on the order of .01 percent.   It was not anyway 
reported near 4 % per my review of the AP report translated by Higgins. .

As I attempted to show, even though the total amount of zinc reported in the 
ICP-MS analysis was small, it was of an order of magnitude to potentially 
explain part of the mass 64 balance.
