Then you must have made a mistake somewhere. Cu62 naturally undergoes a weak force decay reaction to Ni62, with the release of 3.95 MeV of energy. See http://atom.kaeri.re.kr/cgi-bin/decay?Cu-62%20EC (Note that Cu62 is higher than Ni62 in the diagram.) IOW in order for the reverse to happen, 3.95 MeV of energy would need to be added. You don't magically get 5.3 MeV on a silver platter. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
