Thanks for the inspiration. It has just occurred to me that the use of Ni64 which has an abundant neutrons will be most susceptible to fission due to an imbalance of nuclear forces; more specifically the coulomb force relative to the Asymmetry force.
Now it makes sense that Rossi uses a minuscule amount of Ni64 to build the nanowires that form the NAE on the micropowder in his reactor.
