Rossi has stated they use ordinary nickel and not any one specific isotope of
nickel.

The Piantelli patent. So you are talking mainly about cleaning.
Here's something interesting. Under Description the patent says:
"Preferably, said transition metal is Nickel. In particular, said Nickel is
selected from the group comprised of: natural Nickel, i.e. a mixture of
isotopes
like Nickel 58, Nickel 60, Nickel 61 , Nickel 62, Nickel 64; - a Nickel that
contains only one isotope, said isotope selected from the group comprised of:
Nickel 58;
Nickel 60
Nickel 61 ; - Nickel 62;
Nickel 64;
- a formulation comprising at least two of such isotopes at a desired
proportion."
The wording is confusing. It seems to say "Use one isotope, or maybe another,
or
just pick one from this list . . . take a card, any card." What proportion, by
the way? This does not teach a Person Skilled in the Art.
Anyway . . .
Mono-isotopic nickel?
Could that be the secret?
Where do buy mono-isotopic material, anyway? National labs used to sell that
sort of thing, for lots of money.
