The point being that present day isotope separation techniques work by processing the same material over and over again, gradually increasing the concentration of the desired isotope at each stage. That is what Bockris told me. That is what various other sources say. So if you only want a semi-pure concentration with one isotope at greater concentration than the natural distribution, you do not need to process the sample over and over again. This would greatly lower costs I believe. I doubt that Rossi's reactor would need monoisotopic metal. His reactors are not known for having pure material or clean-room grade construction. - Jed
