I may have been a bit to fast in pointing out the possible endothermic nature of the Ni62 and Ni64 reactions. They actually are the best two isotopes to use if you were not to rely upon the beta plus decay for a substantial portion of the energy release. They further are not susceptible to having the 511 keV gammas that would no doubt be released by the reactions involving the other nickel isotopes since copper 63 and 65 are stable and do not decay into nickel by that process.
So, if Rossi is actually able to overcome the coulomb barrier by some mechanism and his device only uses the Ni62 and Ni64 isotopes then it could be functional. The energy released per atom for these two isotopes is only 1 or 2 MeV after satisfying the coulomb barrier, but that is a lot more than any chemical reaction can deliver. I wonder if the relatively modest amount of energy release also can be more safely directed toward useful forms such as vibrational coupling into the surrounding structure. All of my estimates and calculations assume the reaction path that has been suggested by Rossi instead of the W&L process which would be much more energetic. Each of these proposed mechanisms has it's own particular problems to overcome.

Much less energy is released per atom if the beta plus decay is avoided. My calculations suggest that these two reactions might actually be endothermic due to the large coulomb barrier. Perhaps this is a bit of misdirection?

Therefore I have to answer ithin the boundaries allowed from my former considerations. - the analisys are made upon samples which are always different, due to he difficulties to make omologous samples when you deal with a matter here a tiny percentage of matter reacts within the total charge. - impurities are always possible - We enrich the Ni with the 62 and 64 isotopes, which are the sole to ork really: if they had not worked and therefore if Cu had not been orn, an excess of 62 and 64 Ni had to be found: therefore the fact that e did not find a percentage of Ni outside the relatively wide band of he isotopes is normal. Should not Cu have been made, we would have ound an excess of 62 and 64 Ni - Our theory is deeply changed during the last 2 years of experience nd tests, and we have understood clearly which is the transmutation ole, so that all the considerations of your Collegue are perferctly xplained - Remember that our goal is not to produce copper, our goal is to roduce energy. arm Regards, .R."
