Robin, Do you look these values up in a table or do you calculate them? I thought the addition of protons to any element above Ni62 will not release heat, or does it depend on the isotopes involved? On this Italian video about Rossi http://www.classmeteo.it/web/portale/video/prometeo-fusione-fredda-e-cat-e-lenergia-del-futuro/ @5:27 it says: 62Ni + H --> 63Cu + 6.12 MeV I thought this was incorrect according to theory but is it correct?
